Natural moisturizers and homemade beauty products are becoming more and more popular. Last year, I made an investment into a number of natural oils and started making my own moisturizers. Using natural oils completely changed the look and feel of my skin. If your skin has suffered from the drying effects of winter, I implore you to try a DIY moisturizer. They are easy to make, all natural, and much cheaper than store brands. Judging by the velvety way my skin feels now, I think they are definitely worth it. I have picked a few of my favorite natural homemade moisturizer recipes and hope they help your skin feel as soft as mine! After you pick which moisturizer you want to try, check out this DIY Facial Mask How-to to complete your skin makeover.

Homemade Natural Eczema Cream

I have a bad spot of eczema near my elbow that gets terrible during the dry months. Not many things help it but I have found that the combination of oats and olive oil does a pretty good job of calming it down.

Cool and Refreshing

Whipped Peppermint Bark Body Butter

Peppermint is great for sore, dry and cracked areas of your skin. I love to use it on my feet. This body butter will give you a cooling sensation while healing your skin.

Energizing

Coffee Lovers Body Butter

I don't know about you, but I love coffee. Not only is it delicious, but the natural caffeine in it also has uses for skin care. Amanda from the Earthy Apothecary shows us how to make this body butter. She adds vanilla essential oil to her recipe to make it more of a latte body butter. Yum!
