Hey! I am in love with these homemade skin cream bars, i melt one onto my face, neck and chest just before bed. The oils leave my skin feel so soft and replenished the next day, and the vanilla I used to scent mine makes me so relaxed and drift to sleep easily ( you could also use lavender for that effect). The coconut oil in them is anti-microbial so it should combat acne, you can also add a few drops of tea tree oil, oregano oil or rosemary to make these bars anti acne - although they are stronger smelling). These lotion bars are totally natural, so you can feel great about using them and giving them as gifts (things like this are some of my favourite DIY gifts because you can personalise the smells / look easily, they are cheap, simple and really useful!). These are best for dry or normal skin types, but if you have oily skin they may not be ideal, you can try them though- just apply a much smaller amount (i.e use each bar 4-5 times).\r

DIY lotion bar Recipe:\r
- 2 Tbsp coconut oil - melted \r
- 1 tsp castor oil\r
- 4 capsules vitamin e oil (about 1/2 tsp) \r
- 1 Tbsp wax \r
- 5+ drops essential oil (rosemary, lavender, rose, sage or frankincense, -many essential oils have regenerative properties, reduce lines, age spots and even scars)\r
Melt the coconut oil and wax together then add the other oils and your fragrances / colorants of choice (i use rose oil and vanilla bean). Then pour into your moulds, my bars turn out bigger than you would probably want for one face application, but it should make around 10-15 one-application skin cream bars :)\r
