Healing lotion from Coconut oil and Aloe Vera

It is best to use 100% Aloe Vera gel(not the juice) and organic virgin coconut oil.

You can whip up the coconut oil(when in solid form) to make a great body lotion. You need small amounts for all your skin and it is absorbed quickly.

Needed ingredients:

• ½ cup organic extra-virgin coconut oil
• 1/3 cup pure Aloe Vera gel ( organic and cold pressed gel)
• Few drops of essential oils by choice(lavender, jasmine, rose, vanilla…)

Way of preparation:

In a bowl mix the coconut oil and the Aloe Vera. (Remember not to melt the coconut oil)

Whisk all the ingredients with an electric or hand whisker for 5-10 minutes, until it becomes light, fluffy and airy. Don’t use a blender or a food processor; it will warm the oil too much.

While whisking the mixture add the essential oils by choice.

After it is whipped, you can put it in a glass container and leave it on room temperature. If your house is too worm, the oil might melt, so it is better to put it in the refrigerator. You need it to be whipped all the time so that you can use it properly.

You can use this lotion for several weeks.

The right way to use this healing lotion

You can apply it all over your body. The best time to apply it when the skin is wet after bathing. You can also use it to remove your make-up.
