Lotion Bar Recipes
Lotion bars are particularly nice in the winter time when we all suffer with skin that takes a real beating by drying out. In the summer they're wonderful for rehydrating skin that's been over exposed to the sun. To use, hold the bar between your hands just until it begins to soften to the touch. Then rub over the body. Enjoy!
