Homemade Body Butter

I have been playing again. I was so tired yesterday I took a long bath with Epson salt and lavender oil and then  used my new body butter and though I never shared it.  I also got some good shots of the Hummers too.

Homemade Body Butter

 

Ingredients

• 1½ cups of coconut oil
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons zest of grapefruit or orange I used a orange

 Coconut oil and honey alone have so many healthful benefits, so just imagine what combining the two will do for your skin, without all of the junkity junk so many other skin care products can have. I’ve primarily been using it to shave my legs. While there’s no lather, it’s pretty cool, because once I’m out of the shower or bath, my legs are already moisturized with no need for anything else. Very handy dandy, indeed. It can also be added by the spoonfuls to a hot bath as a bath oil/moisturizer.Be aware that since it’s an oil base it can make the shower floor or tub quite slippery, so be careful! And Since there is citrus zest  little pieces of zest that you will need to wipe off.
