How to Make Your Own Moisturizer

I’ve always had extremely dry skin, especially in the winter. I’ve tried all kinds of moisturizers and nothing seemed to work for me. I even tried the expensive lotions and they didn’t work either. So I started experimenting on making my own. I tried several methods until I finally found the one that really works and is simply luxurious. If you have scaly elbows, knees, and cracked and dried heals, this is for you. But using it all over your body will keep your skin supple and smooth all day long. And yes guys, this is good for you also. Your lady will appreciate that smooth skin against hers. I guarantee you that if you put this on your dry and cracked heels at night, the next day those cracks will be gone. I use this lotion all over my body and it doesn’t make your skin feel sticky at all. This is also great for pregnant women and scars. Put it on your belly to help prevent stretch marks. Your skin will be as soft as a new born baby’s bottom. Give it a try.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 8oz. Empty container with lid.
• Petroleum Jelly
• Baby Oil or Lavender Oil
• Large Vitamin E Capsules
• Hand Lotion

1. 
    
   8 oz. empty container with lid

   Make sure your 8 oz. container is good and clean.

2. 
    
   Petroleum Jelly

   Add 6 heaping teaspoons of petroleum jelly.

3. 
    
   Vitamin E Capsules

   Take 2 large Vitamin E capsules and break them open in the container. Squeeze all the liquid out of the capsules and discard the empty capsule. The vitamin E has healing properties in it.

4. 
    
   Baby Oil

   Add 2 teaspoons of baby oil or lavender oil. I like the lavender oil because of the sweet smell, but you can use either.

5. 
    
   Hand Lotion

   Fill the rest of the container with your favorite hand lotion but be sure to leave about a ½ inch from the top and mix well. Place the lid on the container. An 8 oz. container usually lasts me about 6 months.

Tips & Warnings

• I take a small container and fill it with the lotion so I can take it with me in my purse.
• Save your money, I know you’ve seen those commercials for shower moisturizers that you put on your skin after your shower. Why waste your money? All you need is some good hair conditioner. After you wash and rinse, add the hair conditioner to your skin and rub it all over, then rinse. When you towel dry, be sure to just pat your skin dry. You will definitely notice a difference!
• Keep out of reach of children.
