- 1 tablespoon pure, cold-pressed avocado oil: Packed with Vitamin E and monounsaturated fats that deeply nourish the skin and support the health of the tiny capillaries right under the surface.
- 1 tablespoon unrefined shea butter: Provides a protective, soothing layer that seals in moisture and allows your hands to glide smoothly during a massage.
- 3 drops of pure lavender essential oil: A natural, gentle relaxant that signals to the nervous system that the day's worries are over and it is time to rest.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- The Gentle Mix: Place the avocado oil and shea butter in a small glass jar. Warm it slightly in your palms until it blends into a smooth, creamy balm.
- The Calming Drop: Stir in the lavender essential oil.
- The Soothing Application: After tucking the little ones in (and thoroughly inspecting their stuffed animals, of course!), gently massage a small amount of this balm into your hands, wrists, and arms in slow, circular motions. This gentle self-massage promotes local blood flow, melts away lingering tension, and leaves your skin feeling incredibly soft and protected.
