Natural Beauty Products - Make Your Own Natural Body Lotion

Body lotion is important in keeping the skin moisturized especially during cold weather. Show a loved one you care by concocting your own homemade body lotion and putting the lotion in an attractive gift basket, together with other natural products, such as natural baths and natural facial cleansers among others. Know your love one's favorite beauty products to make sure he or she is pleased with your gift basket.

Below are two recipes you can use to make your natural body lotion.

Steep the chamomile in the cup of milk for a few hours, then strain and set the liquid aside. Add wheat germ and honey to the mixture then mix well. Place the lotion in a container, and refrigerate the unused lotion. This body lotion can last for a week.

The next recipe uses goat's milk.

Heat the borax and milk until it is scalding hot. Mix melted coconut oil with melted beeswax, and gradually add this to the milk and borax mixture by using a whisk. Next, add the Vitamin E oil, then leave the mixture until it cools to room temperature. After the lotion cools, add the aloe vera gel and mix well.
