     The first step in making homemade body butter is to gather the ingredients. This is possibly the most difficult part.

     Body butter is made from an assortment of oils, as well as beeswax and cocoa butter and shea butter. You'll need those, as well as olive oil, jojoba oil, coconut oil, and any essential oil you would like.

     Fortunately, many of these items are readily available online - and usually for less than you'll pay in local stores for the same products.

     For preparing the body butter you will need either a double boiler or a microwave oven. You will also need a hand mixer.

     Once you have all of these ingredients, measure them out. You'll need two ounces each of the butters and one ounce each of the beeswax and each of the oils, with the exception of the essential oil; you only need a few drops of that.

     Take these and mix them together by hand in either the top pot of your double boiler or in a microwave safe bowl.

     Having combined the ingredients, proceed to melt them down slowly. If you are doing this in the microwave, do it in short chunks of time, stirring and checking the mixture frequently.

     If you're melting them in a double boiler, then it will be easier to keep track of the melting rate.

     Neither melting technique should take very long since you are only actually melting a few of the ingredients and the rest are already liquids.

     Once the ingredients are combined and melted, remove them from the heat source and mix them with the hand mixer while they cool.

     In making homemade body butter, like making actual butter, you will see peaks in the surface of the mixture when it has reached the correct thickness and temperature and is ready.

     With your homemade body butter complete, put it into a jar or container of your choice and put it away for use. Slather it on after your next bath or shower to experience the soft skin that your hard work has earned you!

How To Make Coconut Body Butter for Dry Skin

1. Prepare the ingredients—2 ounces of cocoa butter, 2 ounces of shea butter, 1 ounce of extra virgin olive oil, 1 ounce of virgin coconut oil, 1 ounce of jojoba oil, 1 ounce of beeswax and drops of your favorite essential oil.
2. Prepare the tools or equipment—a double boiler or microwave oven, a bowl and a mixer. In case a microwave oven and a double boiler are not available, you can make use of your pot and your mixing bowl. Put your bowl on top of the pot with boiling water. Water level should not reach the bottom of your mixing bowl.
3. Mix all the ingredients listed above in a bowl. Melt the mixed ingredients, preferably in a double boiler or microwave oven. This would not take too long. Be careful to overdo the melting process lest it would have an effect to the consistency of your coconut body butter.
4. Once melted, remove it from the double boiler. Using an electric mixer, blend it while being cooled until it forms a peak. This is like making a meringue. Once the mixture forms a peak, it is ready.
5. Transfer your coconut body butter into your prepared container. This would also be an ideal gift for your friends, family members and even giveaways for parties.

A thirsty dry skin can be pampered by applying coconut body butter. It is a real treat for your dry skin because it soothes rough, flaky and itchy skin. A commercially made body butter, which is more expensive, has the same effect with your coconut body butter in providing an intensive body moisturizing effect to your dry skin. With your homemade coconut body butter, you are spared from buying an expensive body moisturizer.

NOTE: As with anything else, you should always contact your physician or dentist before trying any home remedy.

How can I get whiter teeth for free?

Don't spend your hard-earned money on expensive teeth whiteningkits! Get the very same results absolutely free. Don't pay a high office call to go to the dentist and get your teeth professionally whitened! You can have white teeth with things that are probably just sitting in your medicine chest or kitchen cupboard. Don't bother with those gel packs that you have to leave on your teeth. Don't buy that expensive mouthwash for smokers! You have everything that you need to brighten and whiten your teeth right in your own home. Remember that this is free and it works.

Do I have these items in my house?

All you need to whiten your teeth are simple household products. Ok, first go to the kitchen. Open the cupboard where you keep your baking supplies. Do you have baking soda? You probably do. Spoon about two teaspoons of baking soda into a little bowl or cup. Now, travel over to the nearest bathroom. Open the medicine chest. Do you have hydrogen peroxide? You probably have this common household item, too.

How do I make this paste?

Drop two or three teaspoons (this may not be exact) of the hydrogen peroxide into the baking soda, making a paste. This sometimes takes a little trial and error. Be sure it is the same consistency as toothpaste. If you wish, you can add a bit of mint flavoring or even a small dollop of toothpaste.

How do I use this free whitener?

Brush your teeth with your mixture, being sure to leave it on your teeth for at least two minutes. Do NOT swallow this paste! Trust me, you wouldn't want to swallow it- the taste is not the best. To make the paste taste better, try to use the above tips. This will help to make the taste a little bit tastier.

What should I do after using this paste?

After you finish brushing with this free paste, brush again with regular toothpaste to rid your mouth of the taste as well as the peroxide solution. You will be amazed at just how white and bright your teeth will be! Many smokers and heavy coffee drinkers use this little trick. This may be a home remedy that your grandmother even used.

I have a dental condition. Should I try this whitener? Beware that if you have open sores, cavities, gingivitis, or other gum diseases this may make your gums appear white for a short time. This may not be the whitener for your teeth if they are very sensitive. As with anything, you should consult your doctor or dentist before trying this or any other medical treatment.

How often can I use this paste?

· This treatment can be done weekly, monthly, or whenever you want extra bright teeth!

· You shouldn't brush with this mixture more than once per week.

List of Items Needed

· 3 teaspoons of hydrogen peroxide (the amount may vary depending on family size)

· 2 teaspoons of baking soda (the amount may vary depending on family size)

· Optional (A small amount of toothpaste or drop of mint flavor may also be added.)
