Hydrate Me! Face & Body Lotion


Awesome for dry skin! I use this for face and body at the moment and it's summer here

After making the Cacay Beauty Lotion I went on to experiment with making lotions. This one is similar just with larger amount of hyaluronic acid, aloe vera gel and provitamin B5. I used fractionated coconut oil to make it more glidable.

Hope you like it :)
