Book Review: Natural Homemade Skin Care

I’ve been asked to review quite a number of soap making and skin care books over the years. Some of those books, I reviewed wholeheartedly. Others, I outright turned down because I didn’t feel they were the quality my readers have come to expect. When I found out that blogger, Militza Maury, of Little Green Dot had a new book coming out, I immediately contacted her to see if I could do a review. I’m so glad I did.

You know how you get all excited and squeak out a little “eep!” and jump up and down when you see something so adorable or amazing that it totally makes your day? That’s how I felt about Militza’s book, Natural Homemade Skin Care, the first time I opened its pages. This book is filled sixty amazing, natural skin care recipes that you’re going to love to make!

Natural Homemade Skin Care includes twists on popular recipes that we all want to make right now. Products like cleaning balms and body butters, toners and face masks, scrubs and bath melts. What’s different, however, is that the these are totally new and unique recipes, that offer spin offs on products that you likely hadn’t considered. Not only are these natural skin care recipes fun to make, they also offer an exciting way to explore new ingredients without going overboard.

All the natural skin care recipes contained in this book would make great gifts throughout the year. I mean who doesn’t want flower cookie bath bombs, a creamy mango scrub or white chocolate bath melts? There are even essential oil perfume recipes to try.

I love not just the wide and creative range of recipes in this book, but also the ease of making them. All of the directions are complete, and easy to follow. You’ll also find the shelf life and skin type listed for each of the natural skin care recipes, along with tips on making each product and usage instructions.

This edible body oil recipe is simply delicious! Not only is it well suited for an intimate massage, your skin will also smell and taste like a chocolate dessert. This easy massage oil recipe has a shelf life of 3 to 6 months, and is suited for all skin types.

Edible Massage Oil Ingredients:

1 ounce (30 mL) melted coconut oil
1 ounce (30 mL) jojoba oil
2 teaspoons (5 gramas) cacao nibs
1⁄2 vanilla bean pod

Directions on How to Make Edible Body Oil:

Slice open the vanilla bean pod. Then scrape out the inner seeds. You can reserve these for later to use in baking.

Now measure out the jojoba and melted coconut oil into a sterilized mason jar. Combine the vanilla bean pods and cacao nibs with the oil.

Use the warm infusion method to infuse the coconut and jojoba oils with the aromatic cacao nibs and vanilla pod to give the body oil both flavor and a fragrance. (You can learn more about making herbal infused oils in Natural Homemade Skin Care.)

Once the oil is infused, strain out the cacao nibs and the vanilla pod. Then reserve the edible body oil in a sterilized bottle of your choice to use later.

How to Use Edible Massage Oil:

This edible body oil can be applied head to toe, anywhere on your body you desire, as the ingredients are skin safe and completely edible. You can also use this edible massage oil as a personal lubricant and for genital massage with your partner. However, it should not be used with latex condoms as coconut oil can cause breakage.

Are There Other Ways to Use Edible Body Oil?

In addition to massage, this edible body oil recipe can also be worn as a natural fragrance. Vanilla is an aphrodisiac and elevates the mood. It’s also warming and lingers on the skin. Therefore, this massage oil is also beautiful to wear any time of day as an enticing perfume.

Alternately, you can also pour this edible body oil blend into a bath for a relaxing self care treat.

Or use it to make a homemade body butter recipe or solid lotion bar. To do this, simply replace the edible massage oil with the carrier oil called for in any existing recipe.

What If I’m Allergic to Coconut Oil?

If you have an allergy to coconut oil there is an easy substitution. Simply replace the coconut oil called for in the recipe with camellia seed oil, sometimes called tea seed oil, as an edible substitute.

I hope you love this edible body oil recipe from the book, Natural Homemade Skin Care, as much as I do. If you’re ready to try more of Militza Murphy’s natural skin care recipes, then be sure to purchase her book!
