Homemade Moisturizer for dry skin in summer

The scaling, itching, and cracking of the skin are the result of dry skin problems. You find dry skin on any part of your body but mostly it affects the face, hands, arms, and legs. Your body naturally produces oil to keep the skin moisturized. But sometimes the natural oil production does not enough for your skin may be due to underlying health aliments, lifestyle modification, age factor, and so on.

When you grow older, your body produces less oil which results in dry skin. If your skin exposed more to detergent powder, bleach, and dish-washing liquid then these chemical agent lowers the PH level of your skin which results in dry skin and skin irritation. The few other reasons for dry skin are frequent bathing, frequent use of chemical agents, and hot water shower. DIY natural moisturizer is free from harmful chemicals such as paraben, xenoestrogen, and so on.

•  Stir the ingredients well to mix up properly.
• When all the ingredients are completely melted, add the aloe vera gel to it. If you want to add any essential oil of 2 to 3 drops for fragrance, you add it now. I generally do not prefer any artificial perfume or fragrance. 
• Allow the mixture to cool down. Once it cools down, put the melted ingredients in the blender and blend it until the ingredients turn to a creamy consistency.
• Store it in a container. You can also store it in a refrigerator for longer shelf life.
