This lotion is super moisturizing and perfect for cold, dry winter weather that leaves my skin dehydrated and flaky. I have been tinkering with several body lotion recipes and have finally found a combination that I love! The addition of Lavender and Frankincense essential oils kicks up the power of this lotion.
Lavender Essential Oil – soothes and cleanses skin irritations and bruises, aids in relaxation
Frankincense Essential Oil – promotes healthy cell regeneration, can help support healthy skin and diminish signs of aging
Lavender and Frankincense Body Lotion

I love using my oils and finding new ways to use them. This is great idea for winter when our skin takes a hard hit and becomes so itchy and dry. I will have to try this!
