Home-Made Rose and Coconut Body Cream

I've done some experimenting and came up with a really good product for winter. My skin tends to get dry in this cold season so I needed something to help me with it. I had a ton of different oils I usually use for my split ends or into bath so I could make it very rich. But coconut oil with just one other oil will do the trick, too. Apart from glycerin all ingredients are in food quality (virgin oils) which means it's good for you - say bye to the chemicals ;-)= 
And since coconut oil and rose water smell so good, so will you!

You'll need:
  • 1 cup melted coconut oil
  • 2 table spoons jojoba oil
  • 1 table spoon cocoa butter
  • 1 table spoon rose oil
  • 1 table spoon avocado oil
  • 1 table spoon rose water
  • 1 table spoon glycerin
1) Melt all the ingredients if they need melting (coconut oil and cocoa butter probably will) and mix them in a bowl with the exception of glycerin - that one goes in in the last step.
2) Put the bowl somewhere cold for half an hour (it's winter so balcony was great place to put it in but you can use fridge). You know it's ready when it becomes solid BUT you can still press your finger through it.
3) Whip it. Use a hand mixer and beat it till light and fluffy. Now you can add the glycerin and whip it some more.
4) Put it in a jar and use it on your dry areas (split ends, chappy lips, dry elbows...). You may use it all over your body unless you have oily skin - in that case your skin won't be able to soak it all in fast and you will be shiny for a long time (you can apply it at night and you should be OK by the morning).
