Cocoa Ginger Lotion Bars

The cold weather can really dry your skin out.  Here is a recipe from The Natural Beauty Workshop called Cocoa Ginger Lotion Bars that is great for moisturizing or massage.  According to the author, the warm and stimulating scent of ginger helps mellows out the naturally sweet aromas of vanilla and cocoa butter. If you do not like ginger, you can try replacing the essential oil with something equally unexpected like cardamom, rose or cherry.  Or you can omit the essential oils because they also smell wonderful unscented.
