Body Butter Base

There’s a difference between a cream and a lotion. Do you know what it is? It’s the base. When lotions are made, water is added to make the base thinner. The difference is that these are products without the water added, it’s just the creamy moisture straight to your skin. There are different types of bases and combining them with other ingredients makes it possible to create unique blends:

You’ll find that these creams are incredibly nutritious for your skin. It’s like having a moisturizer without added preservatives. Your skin will soak in everything you put on it. Using a natural, quality butter, in addition to moisturizing, will form a protective barrier over your skin to prevent moisture loss. They are especially effective during the dry, winter months. Used on a regular basis, they can also been used to prevent wrinkles and stretch marks.

Homemade Body Butter

For those creative souls, making your own natural skin care products can be fun and also a very thoughtful, personal gift for friends and family. With just an electric mixer and a stove, you can whip up as much or as little whenever the creative desire strikes. That way you can choose exactly which base to use for your product:

  • Kukui Oils

  • Cocoa Oil

  • Mango Oils

  • Shea Oils

All of them are popular ingredients and readily available online. In fact, you can even purchase a kit to make your own. Then branch out from there by adding essential oils.

How To Use Body Butter

Start your day with this uplifting experience right out of the shower. It will feel like you have had a spa treatment in the comfort of your own home. Apply the cream directly to your skin and let it soak in. There’s no need to rinse off the cream. If your skin is begging for a little natural nutrition try using avocado. In the evening you’ll find that lavender creams have a relaxing effect. Many users find that applying the moisturizer after a warm shower, in which the skin was properly exfoliated, makes their skin feel soft and smooth. Perfect for a blissful night’s sleep.

Depending on your skin's needs, the buttery cream can offer additional benefits depending on the ingredients used. Shea butter, for example, can offer sun protection, while mango has beta carotene and Vitamins A and E. It is also worth noting that anyone with a nut allergy should choose their skin care products carefully, taking the ingredients into consideration.

Body butter is a luxurious choice that can be affordable for everyone to add to their skin care routine. So, take care of your skin and treat yourself at the same time. You deserve to be pampered!
