I’m approaching my 70th birthday and as I’ve gotten older, I’ve become more aware of the things that I put in and on my body. Over the years I’ve looked for more natural and organic products to use and when I can, I try out some of the DIY beauty recipes when I come across them. Check out this really easy DIY beauty recipe from Limoneira. I’m going to whip it up next weekend and give it a try.

Juice half of the lemon. Whisk ingredients together until you have a fluffy, smooth lotion. This can be done by hand or with an electric mixer. Apply onto your body and enjoy!

This sounds very easy to make. I hope you post how you found it works on your skin after you use it.
I too never thought that I could make my own lotion. I would so love to do this because I love love love lemons and buy them by the bag. Also I would love knowing what is in my lotion.
I use coconut oil sometimes but I never thought of adding lemon and lavender to it. That is a great idea!
So easy and all natural. I am a big fan of anything with lavender essential oil. It is one of my favorites.
Very nice. Can’t wait to try this one!
I love anything citrus related! And I also enjoy DIY beauty recipes… thank you for sharing!
That sounds so soothing. I think I want to try it. Thank you for the information.
I bet this smells wonderful! I could see using this especially in the summer, the fragrance would be refreshing and light. I like how it has just enough ingredients so the smell would be light and enjoyable.
I’m approaching my 70th birthday too. This is a very easy recipe. I do like the simplicity of it and the lemon.
I had no idea I could make homemade lotion. How refreshing to know that I can make at home a product that costs a fortune in the stores.
