All year round my skin needs a little extra moisture here and there, but if you have a new engagement ring to show off, you may want to take a bit of extra care of your hands. This DIY body balm with natural ingredients will make your hands (and lips and feet) happy. So easy!

Grate the beeswax and cocoa butter. The ratio that I use for this is 1 part beeswax and 1 part cocoa butter tablets to 2 parts of coconut oil, BUT this is approximate. Just note that cocoa butter and beeswax are fairly hard, so you will want more of the coconut oil to make more of a consistency that will melt with body heat.
Melt the beeswax and cocoa butter in the microwave in 30-60 second increments. Melt the coconut oil separately. Once melted, mix together.
Add a few drops of essential oil. Pour into small containers and let harden.
Enjoy and use your body balm on lips, feet, hands, face and more! It will be a harder consistency, yet it melts with body temperature.
