Create Your Own Natural Body Butter

 

Homemade Body Butter

 By: Sadisha E.

 Create your own natural body butter at home. Body Butter is great for the colder months of the year. Great to use on dry and itchy skin. Use this butter after a bath or shower for the best results. Or simply use it anytime you want to moisturize your body. Make a little for now. Perhaps make a larger batch to store in a container for later. The point of this is to promote healthy skin without spending too much.

Unrefined Cold Pressed Coconut Oil
and Avocado Oil

I used Raw Shea Butter, Avocado oil, and Jojoba Oil and Coconut Oil (Unrefined). A hand mixer was used to make it creamy. Feel free to use it right away. Store it at room temperature.

Benefits of Jojoba Oil   Improves your skin if you suffer from Eczema or Psoriasis. And even diminish stretch marks. It is also hypoallergenic.

Benefits of Avocado Oil   Helps to produce collagen, heals wounds quicker, relieves diaper rash. Offers some protection from sun burn. Moisturizer for your skin.

Benefits of Coconut Oil   Leaves your skin feeling baby soft.  Gives your skin a glowing effect. Heals skin.  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20523108.  Has antioxidants and protects from free radicals.

Benefits of Shea Butter   This is great for rough elbows and heels. Softens and evens skin tone. Use Sunscreen, prevents  wrinkles and reduces them, arthritis pain relief when rubbed into the skin on affected area. Contains Vitamins F, A, and E. Used in Africa by those who workout frequently to warm-up muscles prior to exercise.

Be sure to only purchase the purest butter. The white tub of butter is raw.
Don't buy the yellow tub.
