Covid Protocols = Incredibly Dry Skin,

have you noticed?!

It turns out that both alcohol and repeated washing really dries you out!

Many people struggled with dry skin before covid, especially during the winter months.  And now, everyone knows that discomfort to some extent.

Sadly, many of the commercial hand creams and lotions don’t help much.  They don’t really moisturize and often leave a greasy feeling.  Some of the more expensive ones work better, but the cost adds up quickly.  

But it doesn’t have to be this way!

You can easily make your own creams that will actually moisturize,

while also saving you money!

Best of all … you can know exactly what the ingredients are.  

No petro-chemicals.  

No dioxins or other toxins.  

No fillers.  

Just the nourishing ingredients that will restore and protect your skin.

Imagine this …

You’re towelling off after a great shower or a relaxing bath.

The room is warm and steamy. You’re feeling clean and refreshed. And your body is ready to soak in all that moisturizing goodness.

You reach for your new, homemade body cream.  You take a good scoop.  No need to be stingy anymore.  Use as much as you need to.  Nourish your skin all over.  It’s ok to give the body what it needs.

How good does it feel to cover yourself from head to toe with these wonderful, nourishing oils?

I don’t know which part of your body will appreciate it most, but I do know that your body will love you for it!  

Your body will love you for it!
