30+ Make At Home DIY Moisturizers For Winter

December 26, 2021 by Shellie Wilson 1 Comment

Winter is the worst season when it comes to skincare, we are all well educated on staying out of the sun, applying sunscreen, and after lotion, but no one really drives into us the damage that winter can do too. The cold sucks the moisture and windburn can leave you feeling like someone has slapped you in the face, probably frosty the snowman.  So why don’t we take better care of our winter skin?

I have created this roundup of over 30 recipes that will replenish and protect your skin from the harsh cold elements. I know in winter not only do I dry out, I also heat up, because suddenly my showers are hotter, but my soaks in a bathtub are also for longer too, drying me out and sucking my skin dry.

Winter balms or winter lotions have been around for some time, we just don’t always think to use them.  Some of these DIY recipes are made using ingredients you just may have in the fridge or pantry.

The simplest, easiest way to moisturize your skin effectively is using Coconut oil. Simply rub it into your skin and soak up all the goodness.

So why do some people get dry skin and others don’t?

There are several factors that can contribute to why some people experience dry skin while others do not. One of the main factors is genetics, as some people may inherit a tendency towards having drier skin. Another factor is environmental conditions, such as living in a dry or cold climate or being exposed to harsh chemicals or frequent hand washing.

Additionally, lifestyle factors such as diet and hydration levels can also play a role in skin hydration. Some medical conditions or medications may also contribute to dry skin. Ultimately, the specific reasons why someone may experience dry skin can vary and may require a combination of different strategies to address.

    Great recipes. Thank you for sharing.

How to Make DIY Shower Jellies – Lush-Inspired, Kid-Friendly and Naturally Scented

If your morning shower feels more like a chore than a treat, it’s time to shake things up—literally. These DIY shower jellies are bouncy, fun, and scented with natural essential oils that turn your bath or shower into a playful spa moment. Inspired by Lush but made at home for a fraction of the cost, they’re perfect for kids, tweens, or anyone who wants a little joy added to their self-care routine.

Best part? You can tailor the scent, color, and shape to match your mood, season, or even holiday gifts. I’ve made everything from zesty lemon sunbursts in summer to calming lavender moons for bedtime wind-downs. My teens love them, and even Aloo (our cheeky pup) tries to sneak a sniff.

What Are Shower Jellies?

Shower jellies are squishy, soap-based gels that clean like body wash but jiggle like jelly. They melt on skin contact, lather up beautifully, and add a bit of tactile joy to your daily scrub. Think wobbly soap that feels like toy-slash-skincare.

Ingredients (All-Natural Option)

  • 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin (or 1 tbsp agar agar for vegan version) 
  • 3/4 cup boiling water 
  • 1/4 cup liquid castile soap (or SLS-free body wash) 
  • 10–20 drops essential oil (lavender, citrus, eucalyptus – your call) 
  • Optional: skin-safe mica powder or natural food coloring 
  • Optional: dried botanicals (lavender buds, calendula petals) 
  • Silicone molds or ice cube tray 

Instructions

Step 1: Boil & Bloom
In a heatproof bowl, whisk the gelatin into the boiling water until fully dissolved. This is your jelly base—make sure there are no lumps. If using agar agar, simmer for a couple of minutes for full gelling power.

Step 2: Add the Fun Stuff
Once smooth, stir in your liquid soap, essential oils, and any color or botanicals. I love using pink clay for a rosy tint or a few drops of lemon essential oil for a fresh, morning zing.

Step 3: Mold It
Pour your mixture into silicone molds or an ice cube tray. Let cool at room temp for about 10 minutes, then pop into the fridge for 2–3 hours until set.

Step 4: Pop Out & Store
Once firm, gently remove your shower jellies from the mold. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge if your bathroom is steamy, or a lidded jar by the shower in cooler months.

How to Use Shower Jellies

Simply grab one in the shower, squish it between your hands or rub directly on your skin to lather up. They glide easily and rinse clean, leaving your skin soft and lightly scented. For extra cooling, keep them chilled and use post-sun or after a workout.

Tips & Variations

  • Sleepytime Blend: Lavender + chamomile essential oil 
  • Energy Boost: Orange + peppermint (keep away from eyes!) 
  • Holiday Jellies: Add glitter (biodegradable) and candy cane scent for stocking stuffers 
  • Kid-Safe: Use unscented baby body wash and natural fruit coloring

These DIY shower jellies are pure joy in a jar. Whether you’re making them for your little ones, holiday gifting, or your own self-care stash, they add a bouncy boost to your bath time. Bonus: They’re easy to make in big batches, so get ready for a fridge full of jiggly, wiggly goodness.
