You might be feeling a little bored, then why not whip yourself up some luxurious all-natural body butter. Hopefully, you already have the ingredients at home, if not it's worth ordering them online if going out isn't an option.
Body butter is fun to make because you can get really creative, and the satisfaction of just an easy whip and its done is quite delightful.
Now that winter is near it's always nice to have a super clean and healthy moisturizer at hand for the dry winter months.
The benefits of shea butter alone will provide plenty of nourishment and protection. Shea butter feels like soft melting skin-loving heaven when applied to the skin. It's non-greasy and absorbs quickly.
So while you're stuck at home get creative and try this simple recipe out. You can add whatever essential oils you like and whatever earth powders or clays you'd like. Natural colourants are fun too.

As most of us know, the internet is infested with miss information and you really have to look at all angles with a logical open mind. It’s really not about believing it’s about evidence. In order to get truthful evidence, you have to learn by experience. So try to do some of your own research before shaking hands.
In my last article I explain why the importance of ph in skin care depends on what kind of products you’re using. I mostly focused on water-based skin care. In this article I want to focus on oil-based skin care and explain how emollients, humectants, and occlusives can repair, protect, and strengthen our skin.
If your skin could talk what would it say? As corny as it sounds, we all know that if we want to live healthier and happier we need to listen to our body and honour it. Balancing your diet with fruits, veggies, and natural whole foods also play an important role in healthy-skin. But even if we’re doing all we can to stay healthy, we might be wondering why our skin is still suffering
Naturally, our skin is at a Ph acid mantle range of 5.0 to 6
We should worry a little bit about the disruption of our skins Ph. But this cause for concern would be more so in cleansers that are surfactants ( foamy ) or aqueous ( water-based ) and are also called detergents or soap. These generally have a high ph with alkaline levels around 7 or higher. This would be the culprit of messing up your skin!
