Whipped body butter is luxurious any time of year. The butters and oils found in these types of recipes help restore damaged skin and heal dry, cracked areas. While you can buy these products at the store, they couldn’t be simpler to make at home, and they also make great homemade gifts. As a bonus, you can custom the scent by adding your favorite essential oils.
