Make Your Own Natural Summer Massage Lotion
Hot summer days can be unpleasant. No one enjoys hot humid weather. What you need at the end of a long, hot day is a refreshing lotion to help you cool down and relax!
One of the nicest ways to cool down, relax and be refreshed is to share a gently massage with that special someone in your life. You don’t need to buy a lot of expensive lotions to enjoy this simple, relaxing pleasure.
Instead of an expensive commercial product, make your own alcohol-based lotion.
What could be more refeshing than a lovely, scented, all natural lotion to use for a relaxing massage with that special someone.
Here is a refreshing recipe for a scented rubbing alcohol massage lotion:
Choose a relaxing herb such as Chamomile, Basil or Lavender to scent your lotion,
Mix the herbs with unscented rubbing alcohol and let sit for about at least one week before using the mixture.
When you are ready for your massage, pour the liquid through a strainer to remove the herbal essences and pour the remaining liquid into a suitable container.
Use the lotion to massage the body in place of regular massage oil.
You can also use this lotions as a refreshing after-bath splash.
Just make sure to follow up with a nice body lotion, as the alcohol base can be drying to the skin.
Pamper Yourself!
You deserve it!!!
