Why Make Your Own All Natural Lotion?
It’s important that we consider what we put on our skin. And with store-bought products, it is often difficult to determine what exactly is in them. Since our skin absorbs everything we put on it, there’s no need to keep spending on expensive body butters that rarely live up to their promises. Instead, you can easily create your own lotion at home.
