How To Make a Lotion Bar
Making lotion bars is easy and at the same time excellent for your skin. With lotion bars, you can keep your skin hydrated with organic lotion instead of the ones you get in the market, which contain harmful chemicals. Moreover, applying lotion bars is easy and you can store them easily too, compared to lotion bottles that can take up a lot of space.
