Garnier Ultimate Blends Honey Body Lotion Very Dry Skin, 400ml

Product Information

Mix 1/4 cup Grapeseed oil with 1 tsp arrowroot until blended. Add 1 tsp honey and mix. Add to melted Shea Butter mixture. Mix well and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or in the freezer as Lovely Greens suggests. To apply, put some in your hand and rub your hands together to warm it up, then use both your hands and gentle circular motions to massage the lotion into your skin. Developed by Garnier for very dry skin, the honey formula leaves skin feeling softer and more supple day after day. Towel pat yourself dry a little, but let your skin remain lightly damp. After showering, your skin is already hydrated, and the body lotion you apply will hold that in. If you are outside a lot and therefore exposed to the climate (or to your workplace or a shopping centre’s intense air conditioning), then applying lotion beforehand can help reduce the dryness your skin might experience.

So, you just use body lotion after the shower and that’s it, right? Actually, we’re big fans of using it any time. At the office, lounging on the lake, just chilling at home…if your skin needs a blast of moisturizer, go ahead and spread that lotion. And pro-tip: while you’re running around, grab a travel size bottle of your fave lotion so you can stay super smooth on the go. We even have tiny, really cute shower gels, mists, body creams and hand creams to keep you in tip-top shape, no matter where you are. I was trying to replicate Crabtree & Evelyn’s citron, honey and coliander cream, but it’s made in the UK, and many UK products aren’t exported to the US anymore. Can’t get it. Though the instructions for making honey body butter are simple, I’d like to explain the process a little better. Overheating oils can oxidize them, speeding up rancidification, and it can also change their texture and flavor. If you overheat oils infused with delicate herbs, such as the comfrey-infused sweet almond oil that I’m using, then beneficial properties may be lost. To avoid overheating, we gently melt our ingredients together using a double-boiler, or bain-marie. It is also helpful to apply lotion after shaving, as shaving tends to remove surface skin cells in a similar way that exfoliating does. Lotions can also have a soothing effect. Add equal amounts of lemon and coriander essential oils to the cooled butter mixture. I used 6 drops each.

Some of these we can do something about, by, for example, drinking more water. But other factors we cannot control. but anyway I ran into all kinds of problems & thus have questions…I bought a scale for this, which I had trouble figuring out how to measure(subtract the bowl weight? Use a paper towel to measure on?)A wide range of environmental and lifestyle factors can dry out your skin, including windy and dry climates, harsh soaps, overly hot water, ageing, consuming too much salt and not drinking enough water. Garnier Ultimate Blends Honey Treasures Body Lotion leaves your skin feeling intensely nourished and instantly soothed. It has top notes of bergamot, caraway, fruity rhubarb, lemon, orange zest, middle notes of green tea, cool minty peppermint, sweet jasmine, spicy carnation, fresh fennel, crisp celery spice and base notes of amber, oak moss and musk. Both simply refer to a pan or bowl that’s set inside another dish of hot water. This method indirectly heats the ingredients, melting them at a lower and more even temperature. You don’t have to buy a special device to do this in your own kitchen — simply find two saucepans that fit one inside the other. The photos in the recipe below will show you my set-up.
