Lip
Balms
I always carry
lip balms with me but their effects never seem to last.
Now we have
winter upon us and we are heating our houses the air can become very
dry and lips become chapped.
I couldn’t
ever imagine how making my own lip balms could be so easy.
If you love lip
balms learning a great lip balm recipe can be a game changer.
Home made lip
balms can be very purse friendly and now I make a whole batch to
last
Here’s my basic formula
-
I ordered a pack of 25 empty lip balm tubes (http://amzn.to/2ymPXdo )
-
I bought a tiny stainless steel funnel. Easier than a plastic funnel. You can remover any solid balm with a tooth pick.
- 6 tablespoons Organic coconut oil or Shea butter.
-
2 tablespoons Beeswax granules http://amzn.to/2Amk3zu
-
30 Drops of our favourite essential oil.
-
I find it helpful to have a lip balm tray to hold up the tubes whilst the liquid sets.
-
Here’s where I buy mine from: http://bit.ly/2k719F3
Simple method.
You’ll need
only 10 minutes, honestly!
Melt coconut
oils in a double boiler or pan with a Pyrex dish inside over a medium
heat, stirring frequently until all is melted. Quarter fill the pan
with simmering water.
Add your
favourite essential oils.
You can also add
vitamin E oil.
Carefully and
slowly pour a small amount into each tube. NB Mixture will harden
rapidly.
Let it cool for
about and hour then use as normal.
Any extra balm
left use on your feet and elbows.
Leave
the tubes lying around the house.

Now there’s no end to how creative you can
become.
The sky’s the limit with these lip balms.
Here’s to your beautiful plump, luscious lips
during 2018.
As always please remember not all oils are created
equal. I only use 100%
therapeutic grade oils with active components
and no fillers or chemicals.
DILUTE! DILUTE! DILUTE!
These oils are plant based medicine. Don’t
misuse or abuse them.
Would love to hear which lip balm is your
favourite.
Have fun!
Until next time. Judith 648 671 410
