I don't know about you, but winter wreaks havoc on my already dry skin. My skin starts to hurt and itch and I haven't found a good lotion that really works. It's so embarrassing! If I wear something that shows any part of my legs, my dry, scaly legs can be seen. So I decided to create my own lotion bars. I'm all about homemade, or DIY, if I can.
