Hi Guys! It's Alyce and Lizzie!
So, as you know, Lush is basically awesome and we're both obseeesssed! One morning, Lizzie went on a DIY spree online, and found this awesome recipe! Now, we realize that not everyone has shea butter kicking around their house, but other than that, this recipe is super simple and awesome! (And you can probably find shea butter at your local craft store) This is also perfect for dry winter skin, so with the freezing months soon approaching, this will be a great addition to your beauty collection!
This recipe is super duper simple and really fun to make. It calls for:
~2 Tablespoons Shea Butter
~1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil
~Half a Lemon
~1/2 Teaspoon Avocado Oil or Olive Oil
~*2 Drops Vitamin E Oil
~*6 Drops of Lemon Essential Oil or Soap Scent
*= optional
First, you're going to melt the butter in the microwave, stirring in between. Then you're going to add the coconut oil and stir it in until it's melted. If it's not melting, put in in the microwave for around 15 seconds. Next, take off heat and add the avocado or olive oil. Stir until combined. Put it in the fridge for around 5 minutes and then add the lemon juice, vitamin e oil and essential oil if you have them. Put it in a container and put it in the freezer for around 15-20 minutes. Don't worry if it doesn't look like butter yet because ours didn't either. If it doesn't let it freeze for another 10 minutes or so. If it is all frozen, let it sit out for a few minutes and then it will be ready to use!
We really like this recipe and we hope you do too! For our next blog post, keep an eye out for something from Britain!
