DIY Vanilla Scented Body Cream - Step by Step
The five ingredients that we will be using to make our DIY vanilla body lotion should be incorporated correctly. In addition, their proportions and adding time should be appropriate to enhance their benefits. To understand the process of making DIY vanilla scented body lotion, follow these steps:
Step 1: Take a double boiler and add virgin coconut oil, golden jojoba oil, shea butter, and white beeswax to it. Don’t add vanilla essential oil as of yet.
Step 2: If you don’t have vanilla essential oil, use vanilla beans instead. Cut the bean and remove the vanilla. Next, slice the beans and add the vanilla and sliced beans into the double boiler.
Step 3: Heat the mixture in water. Keep stirring the mixture occasionally to blend the ingredients well. Heat it till the water boils. Lower the flame again and heat it for up to 20 minutes.
Step 4: If you are using vanilla essential oil, remove the blended mixture in a glass jar and then add vanilla essential oil. Mix it thoroughly to blend with other ingredients.
Step 5: Leave the mixture as it is, as it might take up to 24 hours to harden. After 24 hours, you can apply it as a body lotion daily.
