If you live in a cold climate or your house stays cool, you may wake up the next day to find your body butter has solidified overnight, and is harder than you’d like. If your body butter seems too firm or stiff the next day, scrape it out of the containers and try whipping it again, beating in an extra 1/4 ounce (7 g) of oil at a time, until it’s a texture you like.
