'Tis the season to be jolly, and what better way to spread that holiday cheer than with a homemade Christmas moisturizer recipe from Rogillio Homestead? This simple, yet luxurious, DIY recipe will have your skin glowing and feeling oh-so-festive.
Ingredients for Christmas Moisturizer
At Rogillio Homestead, we believe in using high-quality, natural ingredients that nourish and hydrate the skin. For our Christmas moisturizer, you'll need:
- 1/2 cup shea butter
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons sweet almond oil
- 10-20 drops of peppermint essential oil
- 5-10 drops of cinnamon essential oil
These ingredients work together to create a rich, creamy moisturizer that will leave your skin feeling soft, supple, and oh-so-festive.
How to Make the Christmas Moisturizer
Making this DIY Christmas moisturizer is a breeze! Here's how to do it:
- In a double boiler (or a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water), melt the shea butter and coconut oil together, stirring occasionally until they are completely liquefied.
- Remove the mixture from the heat and let it cool slightly. Once it's still warm but not hot, stir in the sweet almond oil, peppermint essential oil, and cinnamon essential oil.
- Pour the mixture into a clean, sterilized jar or container (I use 4oz clear jars, but you can use whatever works best for you! If gifting, I suggest 2oz jars 😉) and let it cool completely. Once it's solidified, you can either whip it up with a hand mixer or whisk for a more whipped consistency or leave as is. And it's ready to use!
- If you find your moisturizer a bit too greasy, you can add a bit of Arrowroot powder!
How to Use the Christmas Moisturizer
To use your homemade Christmas Moisturizer, simply scoop out a small amount and massage it into clean, dry skin. The shea butter and coconut oil will deeply nourish and hydrate, while the peppermint and cinnamon essential oils will leave your skin feeling refreshed and invigorated.
This moisturizer is perfect for use all over the body, but it's especially great for treating dry, cracked hands and feet. It also makes a wonderful gift for friends and family during the holiday season.
So, what are you waiting for? Whip up a batch of this DIY Christmas moisturizer and get ready to glow all season long. Happy Holidays from Rogillio Homestead!🎄❄️
