Here is an easy recipe for a body cream that I made my mom. She was looking for something less “greasy” than the body butters, but more creamy than a lotion.

Looking for a creamy, long-lasting body butter that is good for your skin? How about one that can help reduce the signs of aging: wrinkles and sun spots? Last night I made a Frankincense Peppermint body butter. It was very easy to make as I only needed four ingredients, and in 10 minutes the body butter was made and ready for testing.
