Gel Moisturizer Recipe

Do you enjoy using oil gel moisturizers but don’t care for all the unnatural ingredients with names you can’t pronounce? Today we’re going to make a simple 3 ingredient moisturizer. I like it because it helps my itchy dry skin and it’s not as messy as just using oil.

You Will Need:

• A bottle with a pump
• A funnel
• Aloe
• Glycerin
• Apricot Oil (or your favorite oil)
• Essential oils (optional). I like to use apricot oil, lavender, tea tree, and tangerine.

This is a simple moisturizer. You could go crazy and have fun with it adding lots of ingredients. Here are a few other suggestions.
