These Sweet Orange Honey Lemon Bars are super simple to make and will provide you with super moisturized skin. Dry skin can be daunting, and finding a lotion that provides effective moisture is tough as many of those in the store have products that dry your skin out more than it already is. It is important to look for quality ingredients when finding a lotion that will be effective.
It is hard, however, to find these products in the store. Did you know how easy it is to make your own lotion bars? They also make a GREAT gift for the gardener or person who has their hands in water all day.

Wowwwwww! I had no idea it was this easy! My family suffers from dry skin and lotions can get expensive. Plus, these are beautiful

You’re welcome. You’ll love these.
I want to try this with rose petals and rose essential oil. Do you know f a source for rose petals or any flower petals that are not toxic? Have you tried anything like this?
That is a VERY good question. I found some rose petals on Amazon that are non-toxic — https://amzn.to/2yKibBT
