Making Lotion - Fresh Melon Lotion

Making lotion out of a fresh and juicy melon is totally refreshing. There is nothing more fulfilling than writing your own handmade lotion recipes with the inspiration of tropical fruits as ingredients. Lotions with melon extract are very hydrating and exceptionally good during the summer season because of its cooling quality. Plus, this type of lotion contains vitamins A, B, C, as well as natural sugars to completely nurture the skin.

 

Here's how you can make your fresh melon lotion:

 

Ingredients:

½ cup distilled water

½ cup olive oil

1 tbsp lecithin

½ lemon

¼ ripe melon

 

Whip up your melon lotion and follow these steps.

  1. Peel the melon. Extract the lemon juice and the use a blender to get the melon's puree. Filter the juice of the blended melon by using a strainer. Combine everything-distilled water, olive oil, lecithin, lemon juice, melon juice, and melon puree.

  2. For best results, refrigerate the lotion for a day and then apply on skin. Shake the melon handmade lotion before using.

  3. Enjoy the benefits of a handmade lotion from the freshest ingredients.

 

Making Lotion - Extend the Life of your Melon Lotion

 

Believe it or not, but an excellent way to avoid easy perishability of your handmade lotion is by adding 100-proof vodka in the lemon juice. Other options are to combine 2 tablespoons of expensive eau de toilette perfume or aftershave. Weird, but this actually works. Now, you don't have to make a melon lotion frequently.

 

Melon lotions are best used for sunburned skin or as an after sun skincare lotion. You can also apply this lotion type to skin when suffering from mild burns because of its rejuvenating and healing properties.
