This is a fun recipe to make when you’ve got a bit of time to go slowly and melt the butters then whip for a nice consistency that’s easy to apply. You don’t have to use fragrance oil or essential oil but it’s always nice for a scented treat in the winter. Apply some to bare feet then put on socks before you hit the gym. The heat your body generates from working out will help your skin absorb the butter.
