Body butter is great for dry winter skin, especially for spot-treating ashy knees and elbows. I especially like using it on my legs. I made a small batch because a little goes a long way.

Make your own with a few different ingredients; including, unrefined shea butter, coconut oil and a few more.

Using a foil tin and a pan or double boiler is the best way to melt your ingredients.

Whip using a hand mixer. Once it's whipped it should easily melt with the heat of your skin.
