HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN
SHOWER OIL
I really don’t like putting on cream when I get out of the shower. So, I discovered shower oils. But I wanted a simple and natural product.
The trouble is, pure oil takes too long to absorb if I shower in the morning and have to run to work. That’s why I love this recipe. I get the benefits of oil, but with ultra-fast absorption.
