When you make your own homemade lotion you can triple its relaxing effects by giving yourself (or your partner) a nice massage with it and by adding a few drops of essential oil to derive a specific aromatherapy benefit from it.
You can order essential oils online from an aromatherapy supplier or you can purchase them from aromatherapy retail stores such as natural health stores or even Amazon.
Here is a quick, easy, and natural homemade hand lotion recipe that you can make at home. I think it’s the best hand lotion recipe you can whip quickly and without too many ingredients.
