This pumpkin spice lotion bars recipe is perfect for fall, and smells absolutely amazing! With this little bar of lotion, you’ll be able to moisturize your skin immediately after showering, yes even before leaving the shower, with ease. Simply apply the lotion to your damp skin, pat dry and you’re ready to enjoy the relief from dry, cracked skin!
Do lotion bars melt?
Lotion bars will melt as you rub them so that you can get the softening power of shea butter on your skin. Shea butter will help moisturize your skin as you rub the lotion bar and it melts onto your skin. You’ll enjoy the hydrating feeling as you start to use this lotion bars recipe as part of your regularly scheduled skincare regimen.
How long will these bars last?
Most lotions bars are able to get eight to ten uses out of each bar. However, these parrticular lotion bars are mini, single use bars. This recipe will make ten single use bars.
Why are my lotion bars sticky?
If you’ve followed my instructions for the lotion bars recipe below but found the lotion bars are sticky then you may have used too much shea butter. I suggest you remelt the lotion bars and add more beeswax to get the right consistency. Your lotion bars shouldn’t be sticky or tacky to the touch. These pumpkin spice lotion bars should feel mostly smooth to the touch and glide on your skin smoothly.
