Notes
When making any kind of lotion, take care not to get any water into the jar while you’re making it. Doing so will make the homemade face lotion go rancid far too early.

You’ll want to store any homemade lotion in a cool dark place (like a cupboard). When you’re using it, make sure you scoop out the lotion with clean, dry hands.
