My daughter and I have been blending our own rich moisturizing lotion for the past few years. Our hands and heels crave an extra rich emollient to combat the dryness during these cold winter months. From our experience this recipe works miracles...especially when used on your feet right before you go to bed at night. It is the perfect mixture of thick cream but not too greasy. The great thing about making your own is that you can choose your favorite scent and also adjust the amounts to your preference. In the past we have used lavender scented baby lotion, classic scent pink baby lotion and almond hand lotion. You can also replace the petroleum jelly with 8 ounces of solid coconut oil. Have fun experimenting with different combinations to create your own personalized blend of moisturizing lotion!
DIY Moisturizing Lotion
8 ounces Vitamin E lotion (both small jars)
8 ounces Petroleum jelly (1/2 the container)
17 to 21 ounces of your choice of lotion
Blend all together with a hand held mixer in a large bowl until it is fluffy like frosting. Store in small air-tight glass jars. (I like to buy small jars at Dollar Tree.) These make great gifts for friends!
