So here's a photo of my  second and third lotion batches.  Remember the first one had the  cider vinegar in it.  I'm not sure I'm going to keep that one  around.  If you can get over the vinegary smell the lotion is quite  nice, and cider vinegar is supposed to be a good tonic for the skin,  but it's got a potent vinegar smell.  This might appeal to other  people, but not to me.  Frankly, I can make it without vinegar so  why should I waste time using something I don't really like.
So  my second batch was the OOH lotion (sans vinegar) called so because it  has Olive Oil and Honey in it (I like how that acronym works out).   This recipe I got off of the internet and it's a really nice one.   Very thick and creamy.
The next batch I tweaked a facial cream  recipe I found.  I tweaked it to products I had on hand.  This  one is a little looser in consistency, but I think that's because I  accidentally put in a little too much aloe vera juice.  This cream  is a little lighter in consistency and feel than the OOH lotion which  actually works out well for a facial cream/lotion.
The  packaging:  I got some of these Malibu/Tottle tubes, printed labels  on vellum paper and ran them through my Zyron sticker maker.  I  think they are simple labels, but they came out looking great!
So,  now I'm testing. I'm using the OOH lotion on my body and the Facial  Cream on my face.  I have pretty normal skin on my body and oily  skin on my face.
