DIY Body wash for men

Because men need to wash their bodies too lol. This moisturizing formula not only penetrates deep into the skin to hydrate and soften, but also heals and replenishes muscles. And it doesn’t hurt that it smells amazing as well! You know I love me a good masculine-smelling body wash (this one is another one of my favs). Try out this DIY Body wash for men and let me know if your man approves too.

What you need

Castile liquid soap

• All-natural and plant-based
• Non-toxic
• Gentle, yet effective

Olive oil

• Penetrates deep into the skin and provides hydration
• Rich in antioxidants that fight free radicals
• Helps to restore skin elasticity

Distilled water

• The best option for the cleanest man body wash possible
• It doesn’t contain any of the nasty minerals found in tap water
• If you don’t have distilled water, filtered water is a close second

Vitamin E oil

• Hydrates and moisturizes the skin
• High in antioxidants, and neutralizes free radicals
• Helps to heal scars and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and dark spots

Epsom salt

• Softens and hydrates skin

• You can also substitute sea salt here

Lemongrass essential oil

• Has anti-fungal properties, which is great at fighting fungal infections, such as Athletes foot
• A natural deodorizer
• Is a powerful antioxidant that improves skin health and fights free radicals

Cedarwood essential oil

• Heals skin rashes and blemishes
• Reduces excessive secretions of sebum, oil and normalizes both dry and oily skin
• Has a grounding and earthy scent

Air-tight container

• I’ve repurposed an old lotion bottle, if you don’t have anything handy, you can order something similar to mine (linked above 👆🏾)
• This recipe makes a little over 20 ounces, but the bubbles add volume, so I would use at least a 24 oz container

How to make

1. Remove the nozzle on your air-tight container and get ready to add:
2. 1 tsp each of Epsom salt and Vitamin E oil
3. 1 cup each of Olive oil and Liquid castile soap
4. Next, add 1/2 cup of Distilled water
5. If you are adding essential oils, go ahead and add 30 drops. I used 20 drops of Lemongrass and 10 drops of 10 Cedarwood essential oil
6. Screw the nozzle back on
7. Give it a good shake to combine
8. All done!

Ways to use

• Give this a good shake before each use
• Ready to use. Enjoy!
