Sara Snow is using this homemade skin care recipe - Nourishing Body Oil - to help combat stretch marks during her pregnancy, but this recipe is full of skin-lovin' ingredients to soothe dry skin as well! Perfect for everyone!

Nourishing Body Oil

In a small glass bottle, gently blend together:

  • 1 1/2 ounces Sweet Almond Oil (Jojoba Oil will also work and is sometimes easier to find)
  • 1/2 ounce Vitamin E Oil
  • 12 drops Lavender Essential Oil
  • 2-3 drops Frankincense Essential Oil
  • 2-3 drops Lemongrass Essential Oil

Gently shake or stir to blend. Apply liberally as often as needed.
