Body butter is one of the most sinful indulgences you can give thirsty skin. It is a real treat for the senses, particularly if fragrant. Whether to soothe rough patches on the skin or prevent them from forming, or to avoid stretch marks during pregnancy, learn to make your own body butter and have easy access to this delightful skin care experience.Instructions:
1-Mix 2 oz. each of cocoa butter and shea butter with 1 oz. each of olive oil, coconut oil, jojoba oil and beeswax, along with a couple of drops of your favorite essential oil.
2-Melt the ingredients--preferably in a double boiler or in a microwave. Check the mixture periodically to be sure you don't overdo it. It shouldn't take too long.
3-Mix all ingredients while they cool using a hand mixer until they are well-blended. Peaks will form in the mixture when it is ready.
4-Scoop the body butter into a container for safekeeping once the mixture has thoroughly cooled. Or, fill several decorative jars to set aside as gifts.
