Homemade Lotion – 3 Reasons Why You Need To Be Making Some

You may feel a bit put off by making your own homemade lotion, but there really is no need to. Here’s 3 reasons why you should make your own lotion compared to shop bought ones.

  1. You may need a lotion to soothe, ease, or moisturise your skin, something that is not going to have components that’ll harm your skin in any way. This is true whether you live in a extreme winter climate, or in a very hot climate which dehydrates your skin. If you buy a commercial lotion, it may well unfavorably impact your skin, despite of its claims.
  2. Do not let television’s beauty commercials shape your choice, but instead discover a great alternate – homemade lotion includes all the rewards you desire for your skin, without the damaging factors.
  3. Never apply commercial hand lotion on your face as; because it is a thicker consistency, it clogs the pores of your skin. It is most beneficial to make lotion that is just for your face, body, and one for your hands.
To make your own, you will have to put together your lotion ingredients and also keep in mind things you should consider like using sterilized bottles or jars. The typical list of ingredients includes oil, emulsifying wax, water, food coloring, aromatherapy oils, and fragrance. This list can differ according to the lotion’s “recipe” or your individual taste.
