Homemade Peppermint Lotion Bars

Countdown to Christmas Day 15

Hey guys, I’m back with another great homemade beauty product! These Homemade Peppermint Lotion Bars are the perfect cold weather gift! Everyday from December 1st to Christmas day, I will be showing you all Christmas crafts, offering a free printable or a favorite Christmas recipe! Make sure to check back everyday for those posts, or better yet-sign up for my emails so you don’t miss anything!

With winter here, my skin gets so dry especially doing dishes constantly after 5 kids. I got tired of spending money on expensive hand creams that barely work so I decided to make my own. The added benefit to making your own beauty products is you know exactly what is in it and you know what you’re putting on your skin.

This is not lotion that can be pumped, lotion bars are just bars that you rub on dry skin. You could add water to make it less hard, but then you would have to add preservatives to keep it from growing bacteria. Water is what creates mold, so if you do want a lotion make sure you add preservatives to keep it from growing mold. I will be posting a lotion recipe soon with preservatives!

You could throw these peppermint lotion bars into a gift basket along with these homemade products: DIY Peppermint Bath Salts, Homemade Peppermint Lip Balm, and this: DIY Bath Melts.

These lotion bars requires about 30 minutes to make and you can make these to give out as gifts! Scroll to the bottom for some other great homemade beauty products.

You could also add food coloring to make them look more festive!
