A homemade body splash is relatively easy to make and can provide a refreshing end to a bathing experience. All it takes is a few simple ingredients. The alcohol in body splash evaporates quickl,y providing a cool, refreshing feeling. Aloe vera also provides a cooling effect. The aloe, along with vitamin E, also acts as a healing component for the skin. The witch hazel works as an astringent to tone the skin. Choose from the essential oils and fragrances you prefer to create a unique body splash that is to your liking.

Step 1

Place the vodka, witch hazel, aloe vera gel and distilled water in the decorative bottle. Seal the bottle and shake thoroughly to mix these water-based ingredients.

Step 2

Add the oil-based ingredients, including the essential oils, fragrances and vitamin E. Shake thoroughly to disburse these ingredients into the liquid. The alcohol should help dissolve the oils.

Step 3

Shake the bottle each time you use your body splash to ensure the ingredients are well mixed.
