Simple Whipped Body Butter
In this post, I will be sharing with you my experience making simple whipped body butter. I typically avoid these types of products as I really do not like to be greasy, but my skin has been so dry from using a glycolic acid product. That motivated me to make the product. I also have TONs of shea butter. I had planned the product while I was making it, so that I will talk about that as well.
