A luxurious, rich body moisturiser helps to moisturise, hydrate, heal and condition skin. While mainstream body whip, body butter and moisturising cream can be expensive, and wasteful if you consider their packaging, it is actually really easy and cost effective to make your own. Here are the benefits of each ingredient we've used.
Coconut Oil is highly moisturising and creates a light layer on the skin, locking in moisture. It's naturally antifungal and antibacterial, so it can also aid problem skin.
Shea Butter is hydrating, healing and also moisturising. It reduces inflammation, which may help with skin conditions and acne.
Lavender & Grapefruit Oil smell divine together, and their antibacterial properties help treat problem skin.
DIY Coconut & Shea Body Whip
Ingredients
- ¼ cup Coconut Oil
- ¼ cup Shea Butter
- 6 drops each of Lavender and Grapefruit essential oils (or oils of choice).
Method
- Add all ingredients into a mixing bowl.
- Using a metal whisk or an electric mixer, whip fast until the mixture becomes light and airy.
- Scoop mixture into a clean, dry sealed jar. This recipe makes enough to fill 1 x 120ml glass jar.
How To Use
For well nourished skin, use our DIY body whip daily all over the body. It is particularly nice to apply just after a bath or shower before bed.
Keep in a cool place out of sunlight and use within 9 months. Store in the refrigerator on hot days.
