Have you seen Nikisha Brunson’s body butter recipe video tutorial? She shared how to make the best body butter for dry skin she can personally use and for her own family. She called it the DIY All Natural Whipped Body Butter. If not, watch it. You will surely love it. Her homemade whipped body butter is super creamy, great for stretch marks and in moisturizing the skin.

It’s actually one of her favorite DIYs and she will not be buying any more of those creams from the store or anything like that because at least she knows that this is super moisturizing, great for her skin and has no chemicals. Because if you don’t know, 60% of what we put on top of our skin goes into our bloodstream. So imagine if you’re putting on a bunch of chemicals and parabens and it’s going straight to your bloodstream causing things like cancer. If you want to prevent that, it’s great to make your own stuff at home with all-natural ingredients.

  • Almond oil is packed with Vitamin E and nutrients that help in moisturizing.

Opinion:
People spend a lot of money when they buy things that help keep their skin healthy and moisturized. The thing about these commercial products that people buy is that most of them include some ingredients and chemicals that could be harmful to your body in the long run. With this homemade all-natural recipe for a whipped body cream, you are saving a lot of money as well as ensuring that what you use is safe for the skin. I really like learning about this because now I can take care of my skin without spending a ton of money.

    • Hi, Carla. You can buy all the raw products from your nearest food/health store. Or for convenience, you can check ingredients links and buy them online from Amazon. I hope this help.
