Reawaken your sun-kissed skin with this citrusy, creamy delight! Apply all over your body to show your skin some *extra* lovin’ after those long sunny days.
Ingredients:
- ½ cup shea butter
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 7 drops of orange essential oil (depending on how strong you want the scent)
- 7 drops of vanilla essential oil
Directions:
- Add the shea butter and coconut oil into a double boiler on low heat and stir until melted.
- Pour mixture into a small glass bowl and allow to cool until about 75% solidified. You can speed up this process by putting the bowl in the fridge for about an hour.

- Apply to clean skin and feel the instant, moisturizing benefits!
Optional:
If your skin tends to be more oily, try adding a few pinches of arrowroot powder or tapioca starch to the mixture before blending to avoid that greasy feeling!
