Soothing Body Stick
Here's another solution for helping skin in need of some extra love and care, and this one is highly portable. Make your own soothing body stick using beeswax, coconut oil, and essential oils. Lavender and Chamomile are very well known for their proven calming properties, and Peppermint provides a pleasant cooling sensation. You can reuse old lip balm tubes or buy new empties online or in craft stores. Carry your body stick with you in your bag wherever you go for instant relief and comforting against chapped, dry skin.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons beeswax (pastilles or grated)
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 10 drops Lavender
- 5 drops Roman Chamomile
- 5 drops Peppermint
- 5 empty lip balm tubes
Instructions: Melt the coconut oil and beeswax in a double boiler or in a pan placed into boiling water. Once melted, remove from heat, allow to cool, stir in the essential oils, and pour into lip balm tubes.
