Transform your self-care routine as we walk you through the steps to create a luxurious rose-infused body lotion that will leave your skin feeling nourished and radiant. Discover the power of natural ingredients like shea butter, and avocado oil in this easy-to-follow recipe.
Ingredients Needed
- Shea butter, soft and odorless
- Avocado carrier oil, lightweight (not dense)
- Corn flour
- Vitamin E capsule for skin
- Polysorbate 80
- Mica color powder, red
- Rose fragrance oil
Choose high-quality ingredients to boost the effectiveness and safety of your DIY beauty products. Also, where an essential oil is included in my recipes, I utilize either of two types of essential oils: pure if added in drops, or diluted if mixed in grams—For diluted essential oil, mix 1 gram (0.035 oz) of pure essential oil with 100 grams (3.5 oz) of sweet almond oil or jojoba oil.
Tools Needed
- Scale to weigh quantities
- Bowl
- Teaspoon
- Small silicone spatula
- Wooden popsicle stick
- Electric hand mixer
- Small container to store your DIY Body Lotion with Rose
Prior to use, ensure that both your utensils and containers are properly cleaned and disinfected. Wash them with warm soapy water, dry with a tissue, and then sanitize by spraying with 70% medical alcohol. Wipe them clean and let them air dry before use.
Steps: DIY Body Lotion with Rose
1- Start by putting 50 grams (1.76 oz) of soft, odorless shea butter in a bowl.
2- Add 30 grams (1.05 oz) of lightweight avocado oil.
3- Gently heat and melt the ingredients in a bain-marie (hot water bath). A bain-marie is made by placing the bowl in a larger pot of hot, steaming water. This will gradually heat and melt the contents. Make sure to stir while the mixture is melting.
4- Allow the contents to cool down partially, as in the image. Do not let it cool completely.
5- Use the electric hand mixer to whip the contents for approximately three minutes, until you achieve a lotion-like texture.
6- With the tip of a wooden popsicle stick, add a little red mica color powder.
7- Mix thoroughly with a silicone spatula. For a stronger lotion color, add more mica powder, although a lighter color is generally preferred for body lotion.
8- After thoroughly mixing with the spatula, give the mixture a brief whipping with the electric mixer, to ensure that the mica color is uniformly blended.
9- Add 3 grams (0.10 oz) of rose fragrance oil.
10- Add 3 grams (0.10 oz) of polysorbate 80.
11- Squeeze the contents of a Vitamin E capsule into the mixture.
12- Mix thoroughly with the spatula.
13- Add 1/2 teaspoon of corn flour.
14- Mix the corn flour with the spatula, then give the mixture a final brief whipping with the electric mixer.
15- Scoop the DIY Body Lotion with Rose into a small container, and you’re done!
How To Use: DIY Body Lotion with Rose
To get the most out of your DIY rose-infused body lotion, follow these simple steps for optimal results:
- Cleanse: Start with clean skin. Use your preferred body wash or soap to remove dirt and impurities, then pat your skin dry with a clean towel.
- Apply: Take a small amount of your homemade rose body lotion and apply it to your hands or directly onto your body. Be gentle and massage it into your skin in a circular motion.
- Focus on Dry Areas: Pay special attention to areas prone to dryness, such as elbows, knees, and heels. These areas benefit from extra hydration.
- Allow Absorption: Give the lotion a few minutes to absorb into your skin before dressing to avoid any residue transfer onto clothing.
- Enjoy: Bask in the natural fragrance and the nourishing properties of your rose-infused body lotion. Use it daily or as needed to keep your skin soft, smooth, and beautifully scented.
Incorporating this lotion into your daily skincare routine will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, with skin that looks and feels its best.
