Over time, I’ve developed some skin care recipes that are much more cost-effective and just as moisture-effective than the insanely expensive stuff. I whip up a basic body moisturizer that’s great for after showering, then I divide part of it and add salt  and sugar to make scrubs.

The ingredients I use make a lot, and cost a fraction of what you will find anywhere!

Basic Body Butter

3 cups coconut oil

1 (8 oz.) container African Shea Butter

2 tsp. Vitamin E oil

2 tsp. Brazil nut or jojoba oil
