How to make homemade body lotion

As people's ideas and concepts change, homemade items are becoming more and more popular among many people. In fact, in addition to homemade dishes, many daily necessities can also be made at home, such as body lotion. The human body's skin will become dry or dull due to changes in weather, so moisturizer is very necessary. The effect of homemade moisturizer is actually quite good, so let’s learn how to make homemade moisturizer.

Silicone (dimethicone) is a chemical synthetic oil. Many early two-in-one shampoos made hair soft and smooth by adding silicone. Since silicone feels better than ordinary natural oils, it not only does not have the greasy feeling of oil, but also makes the skin feel very refreshed. In addition, silicone is smoother than oil, so the skin will feel smoother after use. Therefore, many skin care products in recent years have added silicone.

This moisturizing product is made of a new generation of silicone that is as refreshing as water. Since the new generation of silicone is breathable and will not clog pores, it can also form a protective film on the skin surface to prevent the evaporation of skin moisture, so it is very suitable as a moisturizing ingredient for oily skin. In addition to adding silicone, this lotion also uses natural corn starch, which can absorb excess oil secreted by the face. It is especially recommended for people with oily skin and acne.

Ingredients: 5ml (1 teaspoon) of dimethicone, 1ml (about 1/4 teaspoon full) of Creagel, 5ml (1 teaspoon) of glycerin, 2 teaspoons of cornstarch, 90ml (18 teaspoons) of purified water, and 0.2-1ml of cosmetic-grade antibacterial agent.

Shelf life: It is best to use up within 1 year and store the product in a cool place away from direct sunlight.

Note: To make the finest cream, I recommend putting the cap on the bottle and shaking it vigorously; the longer you shake it, the finer the texture of the cream will become and the better it will feel on your face.

Life becomes more beautiful with the addition of a lot of fresh food, so making your own body lotion is also a way to enrich your life. Regardless of how effective homemade lotion is, the simple process of making it and the satisfaction of successfully making it can make your life richer. Therefore, it’s actually quite fun to make your own body lotion when you have nothing to do.
