DIY Cracked Skin Balm

HA! I am sure you thought I was going to reveal my recipe for may AMAZING cracked skin balm that anyone can purchase by going to www.dezarae.net. Alas, I am not. What I am going to do for those of you that enjoy making things on your own, I am going to share a basic recipe with you, one that you may customize and make it your own. If you do decide to order, Know that I only use USDA certified organic oils in my products.



Cracked Skin Balm
skeleton recipe

1.5 oz Coconut oil
1.5 oz Beeswax
1.5 oz of an extreme moisturizing butter (mango, shea, or cocoa are a few)
0.3 oz of any of your favorite skin loving oils (you can do the .3 oz of one type or divide it between a couple.
0.2 oz of a fragrance or about 10 drops of your favorite essential oil, essential oil blend.

DIRECTIONS: Take a pot, fill it over half way with water. (I am sure you have already guessed we are making a home made double boiler.) Take a glass jar like a measuring cup ( at least 2 cups worth for this recipe) and add in all the ingredients above. (if using essential oils, wait to add them until you have the oils melted.)

Once all the oils are melted, and fragrance or oils are added, pour liquid into your favorite container. I use 2 oz twist up tubes you can find at any online cosmetic container store. Fill your container and the balm will harden as it cools.

This is PERFECT for those summer days where the elements are drying out your feet in those flip flops, or those winter days where your elbows and chapped area's on your skin need some TLC.
