When did beauty products become so complicated? I’m a big fan of simplicity, especially when it comes to making my own products. This DIY lavender body oil recipe is a great alternative to lotion. It easily absorbs into the skin, feeding your body with vitamins and antioxidants without the added chemicals many store bought products contain.

I love this homemade body butter recipe. It’s simple to make, using only shea butter, jojoba oil and the refreshing scent of peppermint. This is the perfect recipe to try if you’ve always wanted to make your own lotion.
