Body butters are everyone's favourite. They are better than body moisturisers, as they are much lighter and tend to spread evenly on your skin. I ditched my body moisturiser/lotion and since then I am just addicted to body butter. Have you ever thought of making body butter at home? It is much easier than you thought. Moreover, you are aware of what is going into it and it is chemical free. Here's a tried and tested body butter recipe that you can make at home in almost less than twenty minutes.

Ingredients:

  • Shea butter 1 small cup
  • Cocoa butter 1 small cup
  • Coconut oil 1 small cup
  • Almond/ olive oil 1 small cup
  • 30 to 40 drops of essential oil of your choice (Go for some mild fragrance)
  • Hand beater
  • a clean glass jar

Remember the amount of the ingredients may vary with the amount of body butter you would want to make.

Method:

1. Put all the ingredients except for the essential oil in a double boiler(If you don't have one, simply boil some water in big vessel and place another empty vessel on top of that, while the water is boiling). Let all the ingredients melt and mix well.

2. Take the vessel down and let it cool a bit. Once it is cooled a bit add essential oil, if you're using one.

3. Mix well and place it into the fridge for around an hour.

4. Take it out from the fridge and beat it for around 10 to 15 mins, till it is fluffy.

5. Put it into the jar and place the jar into the fridge again for 10 to 15 mins.

Use is as you'd use your moisturiser or lotion and feel the difference for yourself. Try this out at home and let us know how did you like it in the comments section below.
