Homemade Lotion

Well, i was thinking of trying natural homemade product's for skin care, hair, etc and I found this "recipe" for homemade lotion.
All of the following ingredients can be purchased at Family Dollar in the lotion/hygiene section for a dollar each. You'll need the following ingredients, a big mixing bowl, hand mixer, and lots of little jars to put the new lotion.

Lotion Recipe
2 jars store-brand Vitamin E cream
2 store-brand baby lotion bottles
1 jar of the store-brand Vaseline
1. Dump above into a large mixing bowl. I found that cutting apart the baby lotion bottles helped me to get a bunch more of it out. And get a bigger mixing bowl than you think you're going to need or it'll be messier than you thought.
2. Mix. Don't overheat the hand-mixer.
3. Put the new lotion that you made all by yourself into little jars. You can reuse the vitamin e cream jars and Vaseline jar again. Or you can buy fancy jars at an antique store...
4. Apply to skin. It absorbs quickly. For best results, apply after bathing. For dry, cracked heels apply after bathing and before bedtime (sleep in socks).


If anybody have a different way doing these, please let me know :)
