How To Make Lip Balm

That only does not affect the condition of your lips - sun, wind, dry air, dust and sand, even the salt that is contained in food! Lips need protection hourly in order to be soft and tender, not dry and chapped. But good commercial balms can be so expensive, and cheap ones contain a whole collection of chemicals. A simple way out of this situation is to prepare a balm at home, because it is fast, safe and even a little fun. Try it yourself! Location: Location: The simplest lip balm can be made from ordinary hard petroleum jelly and cocoa powder. Place the petroleum jelly in a glass bowl and melt in the microwave or water bath. If you don't have a microwave and don't want to fiddle with saucepans, put the Vaseline in a plastic bag and put it under a stream of boiling water. When it meltsit will be enough to cut off the end of the bag and pour the liquid into a suitable container. Put a little cocoa powder in the melted petroleum jelly, mix well, pour the resulting mass into containers and let set. You have a pleasant and natural chocolate-flavored lip balm.

It will take a little more time to make a honey flavored balm on natural wax. It is better to prepare such a "delicacy" for the lips for future use. To fill about 10 lipstick cartridges, prepare 3 teaspoons of beeswax, 4 teaspoons of cocoa butter, 5 teaspoons of sweet almond oil, 2 teaspoons of lanolin, half a teaspoon of honey, and a few drops each of natural essential oil and oil-based vitamin E.

Put beeswax, cocoa butter and almond butter in a glass container, add honey. Place a tall skillet of water on the fire and bring it to a boil. Reduce heat and place a container of oils and honey in the pan. While stirring occasionally, wait for the mass to melt. This can take 15 to 20 minutes.

Take the container with the base for the balm out of the water and add 3-4 drops of vitamin E and about 10 drops of essential oil. It can be lemon, grapefruit, tea tree, rosemary oil - your choice. Stir the mixture with a wooden stick and place in empty lipstick containers with a piece of plastic or cardboard at the bottom. You can also pour the balm into small jars. Let it freeze and use. If you want to try a balm with different essential oils, first put it in containers, and then add your own fragrance to each and stir with a stick. Remember that for long-term storage, you need to put the food you cooked in the refrigerator.
