[RECIPE] Glow Getter Body Shimmer - All the summer shimmer!

DIY: Glow Getter Body Shimmer - Retain ALL your summer shimmer!

Create your own nourishing, homemade shimmering body balm with this easy recipe. This foundation is made with natural oils and waxes to hydrate and protect your skin while providing a smooth, lightweight coverage.

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons Beeswax or Candelilla Wax (for structure and creaminess)
• 2 teaspoons Jojoba Oil (for hydration and balance)
• 2 teaspoons Avocado Oil (rich in vitamins, adds moisture)
• 2 teaspoons Sweet Almond Oil (softens and nourishes the skin)
• 2 teaspoons Castor Oil (thickens the formula and adds a slight sheen)
• 5 drops Vegetable Glycerin (for added moisture and smooth application)
• 1 teaspoon Kaolin Clay (for a matte finish and oil absorption)
• ½ to 1 teaspoon Mica Colorant (for color and glow; adjust based on skin tone)

Instructions:

1. Melt the Wax: In a double boiler, gently melt the beeswax or candelilla wax until fully liquid.
2. Add the Oils: Once the wax is melted, stir in the jojoba oil, avocado oil, sweet almond oil, and castor oil. Mix well until everything is combined.
3. Incorporate Glycerin and Clay: Remove from heat and stir in the vegetable glycerin and kaolin clay. Ensure the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
4. Mix in the Colorant: Gradually add the mica colorant, adjusting the amount to match your desired skin tone. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the pigment.
5. Cool and Store: Let the mixture cool slightly, then pour it into a clean, airtight container on tin. Allow it to set for a few hours until it thickens into a creamy texture.

Tips:

• Test the color on your skin and adjust the mica pigment as needed to achieve the perfect shade.
• If the balm is too thick once cooled, reheat it and add a little more oil to make it creamier.
• For extra glow, you can add more mica or adjust the ratio to suit your preference.

This DIY foundation is rich in natural ingredients that hydrate and nourish your skin while providing light-to-medium coverage.
