When the weather is cold and the sun is scarce, hydrating skin products are a must. This Burnt Sugar Shimmer Lotion soothes dry skin, while adding a soft sparkle that works for a wide variety of skin tones. The warm and inviting Burnt Sugar Fragrance Oil lightly scents the skin with notes of coffee, smoked cedar, brown sugar and amber. As a bonus, Burnt Sugar Fragrance Oil is 20% off this month! Looking for a bronzing lotion with a little more color? Check out the Beautiful Bronzing Lotion tutorial.

Easy to make, this is a great project for beginning crafters. Simply heat the lotion base, and add fragrance and colorant. Mixing the micas with the fragrance oil helps break up any clumps, and allows the colorant to blend into the lotion smoothly.
