Winter Moisturizer Recipe | Essential Homestead

Does your skin get dry in the winter?  Try this homemade winter moisturizer.

Dry, scaly, itchy skin in wintertime occurs when your skin is depleted of moisture. Fortunately, there are simple and inexpensive remedies for this problem, most if not all of which can be found in your kitchen.  You’ll be surprised at the effectiveness of this homemade moisturizer.
Coconut oil is especially effective for skin care and protection against possible infections. When applied topically, it helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by helping to keep your connective tissues strong and supple, and aids in exfoliating the outer layer of dead skin cells, making your skin smoother.
Adding essential oils will also soothe and support soft skin.
