DIY Natural Homemade Moisturizers

Moisturizers are an important part of our skincare regime.Normally you must have
observed them when you apply moisturizer to your damp body or face it gets dried
up soon giving a feel of reapplying it again.This happens because almost all moisturizers
in the market contain water as their ingredient which gets dried up after some time
making your skin feel dry and parched,people with oily skin are an exception as
they do not need much moisture but for people with dry and sensitive skin it can
be a problem and mess reapplying it over and over again.

So to deal with it I find natural homemade moisturizers are an absolute treat to our skin
and specially for our body which needs more moisturization than our face.
Some natural body oils(coconut,olive,jojoba,almond) work best for moisturizing our
skin but you cannot use them at daytime as they can spoil and stain your clothes,
its advisable to use them at night to attain soft,healthy skin.

Below is a list of few DIY natural homemade moisturizers which you can try to nourish
and pamper your skin.The moisturizers I talked about in this post are 100% natural!
