As winter approaches, so does the inevitable drying of the skin. My knuckles are already getting scratchy, which is my indicator that it\u2019s time to brew up a big batch of homemade body oil. I\u2019ve been making my own body oil for two years now, it\u2019s a great way to keep your skin moisturized during the cold season (and ideally year-round!) It also makes a great gift if you want to make some to share with friends and family this holiday season.<\/p>\n

I like to put it on right after I get out of the shower while my skin is slightly damp, that helps it absorb so that you don\u2019t have an \u201coily\u201d feeling on the skin. Using lightweight oils like the ones outlined here help with that, too! One thing that\u2019s very important when putting things on or in your body is quality ingredients, and I source all of my oils from a local Oregon company Mountain Rose Herbs<\/a> that\u2019s a women-led business based in Eugene. I\u2019ve been using them for years and years and cannot recommend them highly enough.<\/p>\n

I have some \u201crecipes\u201d further down in the blog post with the measurements, and some essential oil scent combinations before that, but I wanted to talk a bit more about what kinds of oils you could use. These are the oils I tend to stick to as the base because they\u2019re readily accessible, make the skin feel great, and absorb well. In the \u201crecipe\u201d further down in the blog post, I only use three of the oils listed, but feel free to swap depending on what works for your skin\/budget\/accessibility. Let\u2019s dive in!<\/p>\n
