It’s rare for a beauty item to be both luxurious and totally utilitarian, but lotion bars fit the bill. They’re easy to carry in your purse and you can also take them with you on a plane, since they’re solid. Spread them around the house–on your nightstand, on the bathroom sink–for easy access whenever. Your skin will appreciate the way these rich bars help lock in moisture to keep your skin smooth and hydrated during the harsh winter months.
Here are recipes for some of our favorite DIY lotion bars:

How do I use these lotion bars? Just rub them on my hands?
Here is another favorite of mine and it’s pretty simple, too.
Ingredients:
1 cup shea butter
1 cup coconut oil
1 cup beeswax
4 capsules vitamin E
1-2 drops of your favorite Essential Oil (optional)
Heat up the oils for 1 minute in the oven or microwave. Stir and heat for another minute.
Repeat the process until everything is melted. Pour the liquid into cups. Let the bars cool on the counter for 30 minutes, then place them in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
