Body butter is a skin moisturiser that typically contains cocoa butter, Shea-butter, coconut oil or vegetable-based oil. It's thicker than lotions and is extra effective at rejuvenating dry skin, whether used all over or only on problem patches, such as elbows and knees. Making body butter is quite easy and the procedure is one you can go for yourself.



The ingredients include:

Shea-butter

Coconut oil

Almond oil

Castor oil

Vitamin E

You have to get a close-up jar for storage

So you put the Shea-butter in a mixing bowl, add the oils in sufficient quantity as you want but for measurement,



1 teaspoon of coconut oil = 1 teaspoon of almond oil= 1 teaspoon of castor oil = 2 tabs of vitamin E

So if you decide to go with 3 teaspoons, then it will take 6 tabs of Vitamin E capsule

the Shea-butter is the base oil and it acts like a sunscreen.

Apply a dollop of body butter directly to your skin and don't use too much or your skin could get greasy. Rub it in gently, using firm, broad strokes, until the body butter is fully absorbed.



Pay particular attention to your feet, hands, elbows and knees, regions that tend to get particularly dry or calloused. Apply a second layer of body butter on these problem areas for the best results.

Apply body butter just before bedtime to help soften the skin on your hands and feet.

Keep at this and you will have a well moisturised and glowing skin
