Natural DIY Lotion Stick Recipe

My make bag and bathroom closet is always filled with variety of organic moisturizing products ranging from coconut oil to macadamia oil, but they get sometimes clumsy to carry it everywhere especially during photo shoots in cold weather. I’m constantly in need of a lotion for my dry spots- elbows, palms, legs and feet. This DIY lotion stick is perfect as it is easy to apply and hassle free to carry. Glide-on and go-on 🙂

Benefits of Mango Butter

I love using mango butter in spring and summer as mango butter has the ability to protect skin from sun burns and other skin issues caused by UV radiations and free radicals. It also works great for insect bits, rashes, and stretch marks. Mango butter also contains anti-oxidants as it helps skin to naturally produce collagen.

How to use Lotion Sticks

Use lotion stick on dry skin. Do not use it in shower or wet skin
If you like using butter on face, this stick is super easy to apply
This lotion stick can be also used on babies as it is simple to glide-on
