Making body lotions at home do not require a degree in science to make. Body lotion making is actually a rather simple process. Making lotions at home can be a personalized experience others will want to know the secrets to. The lotions can be made with one's favorite scent or made specifically to help certain skin issues like extremely dry skin or overly sensitive skin, as well as making it with ingredients that are natural and not synthetic.

Natural body lotion is a wonderful product, and not at all difficult to make. You can customize the thickness of your lotion, and choose to make versions free of colorants or scent if you have extra sensitive skin. Or you can go all out and use essential oils to make a unique scent for your lotion that cannot be found in stores--the choice is entirely up to you.

Scented body lotion creation begins with deciding on which base oils and essential oils to use in your creation. Lotion is not at all a difficult product to make, but your finished creation will have different properties according to which carrier and essential oils you choose to create them with. For example, a lotion made with olive oil will be very rich, while a lotion made with a light in texture jojoba oil will have a different feel on the skin.

Next start to mix the beeswax and oil mixture, using a whisk or electric mixer. During the mixing add 10 ounces of distilled water or Aloe Vera gel. Distilled water is much cheaper, as you can make it yourself. But Aloe Vera gel will help your body lotion to last much longer and will make your skin feel much better.

The recipe has two ingredients: you should use the white lotion you would prefer on a regular basis plus a pure cocoa powder. Please choose a white tanning lotion that contains a strong moisturizing agent and therefore protects properly your skin against wrinkles and dryness. The pure cocoa powder is the same kind you would use for cooking purposes.

You should opt for a healthy and nutritious diet if you want to have a beautiful skin. Your diet should contain lot of fish and other sea foods as they contain essential oils. Some vitamin rich oils can also be applied on the skin for moisturizing effect. Regular exercise and drinking lot of water maintains the beauty of your skin.

The third step in making body lotion is to add your colorants. These colorants can be from a laboratory or they can come from natural sources. If you plan on marketing your handmade skin care products as natural skin care products then you will want to use natural coloring agents like paprika, mica, or oxides.

The Hard Way, and The Easy Way. The Hard Way means investing a lot of time in books and trial-and-error in your kitchen, and a lot of money in ingredients. Often, you need patience and perseverance as you attempt to make a basic lotion or liquid soap, but it doesn't come out as well as you'd hoped. Heck, you don't even get to the fun part, which is adding the scent and color!
