It's summer time (praise God!). The weather is warmer and your skin is beginning to develop that summer glow. But don't be fooled! Summer is the season when we most often forget to moisturize and our skin remains neglected. Even though it's warmer outside and more moisture is absorbed in my skin from the air, I'm finding that my skin is still somewhat dry. Cocoa butter/coconut oil, my normal winter skin care saviors, seem too thick for the summer, while lubriderm and curel just don't seem to do the trick. So I mixed a couple of my winter moisturizers with my summer moisturizers and found my skin to be extra soft.
Here's the recipe:
Ingredients
1. 2 teaspoons olive oil
2. 2 teaspoons coconut oil
3. Your normal moisturizer (I used lubriderm)
Instructions
1. Squeeze a handful of lotion into a cup. Use a little less than the amount that it would take to moisturize your entire body.
2.Mix the coconut oil into the lotion & stir with a spoon.
3. Slowly stir the olive oil in with the spoon, smelling it as you mix. (I can't stand the smell of olive oil in my skin/hair so I only mix enough so that the smell of the lubriderm remains)
4. Rub it onto your skin at night & wear a long sleeve shirt/pajama pants overnight. This will lock the moisture in overnight & your skin will feel oh so soft when you wake up the next morning.
Keep it natural,
Jackie
