We love Hey Franhey’s super accessible beauty tricks and she did not let us down with her no-cooking needed raw and organic body smoothie. The smoothie is made up of 5 ingredients that work wonders on your skin especially during the winter months when your body is craving moisture.
So, what is in it? The body smoothie base is organic cocoa butter that is full of antioxidants to help with anti-aging. The DIY body butter is also full of moisturizing shea butter and 3 different oils. There is vitamin E to help regenerate the skin, coconut oil that makes your skin glow from the healthy fats found in it and pure almond oil that evens out your skin’s texture. The best part: you can buy all of these products in bulk on Amazon and make this simple recipe over and over again.
