After Sun Care: DIY Whipped Body Butter

AFTER SUN WHIPPED BODY BUTTER

We've all been there before... the sun gets the best of you and your skin! It can leave you hot and uncomfortable for days. Thus, try making a soothing after sun body butter with us that smells exactly like Aloe. 

This body butter contains soothing and regenerating properties such as Aloe Vera, Vitamin E, and Shea butter that will leave your skin feeling refreshed. Aloe Vera contains antioxidants, enzymes, Vitamins A and C, and it is an anti-inflammatory which can help alleviate burns. Vitamin E oil also helps regenerate new skin cells and can lighten brown spots or scars. Plus, Vitamin E can absorb the energy from ultraviolet light and help prevent damage to the skin. Lastly, Shea butter is an ideal cosmetic ingredient for softening skin.
