Dawn's assertion that it resembles mashed potatoes is spot on.
As I mentioned in my previous post, Dawn and I managed to finally make the Readymade natural body moisturizer we’ve had bookmarked for ages. Dawn gives a pretty good rundown of the entire process over at Turby and John. To sum things up, though: we used olive oil, beeswax, and water to make a fairly thick unscented body butter. I’m considering using slightly lighter avocado or almond oil next time, as I think they might be a bit more suitable for summer. For people with oily skin, this is definitely the way to go. Still, I’m pretty smitten with ours as is, and I definitely don’t see myself dropping $20 at the health food store for fancy all natural lotion anytime soon. I have very dry skin, and I’ve been smearing this stuff all over before bed every night and using it on my hands and elbows throughout the day.
