Lip balm with your hands - self-preparation of lip balms

The delicate, sensitive skin of the lips requires care no less than the skin of the face or neck. But if the beautiful ladies usually care about the face and neck, then they forget about the lips somehow. At best, they sometimes apply a layer of hygienic lipstick before going out to frost.

About the benefits of balm

If you neglect the care of your lips, they will become drier and smaller in volume, cover with small premature wrinkles, and then no super-modern lipsticks will help. To save the beauty of the lips, eliminate excessive dryness, cracks, which easily appear, but with difficulty pass, small pimples in the corners of the mouth - you must carefully care for the lips at any time of the year.

The best care product is nourishing balm. Prepare lip balm with your own hands is not very difficult, but this process will take some time, so it is advisable to start experimenting on the day off.

Of course, ready-made balsams are convenient, because you do not have to mess around by measuring the components and mixing them. But, in personally manufactured, there will be no preservatives, or parabens, about the harm that so many now write.

Rules for the preparation of lip balms

If the first experience in making a balm turned out to be successful, you can start experimenting by adding something of your own. But before you start experimenting, you need to remember a number of simple rules.

• Firstly, if you are preparing a medical-cosmetic product designed for use in the cold season, be sure to add glycerine and nutrients - they will help to form a thin film on the lips, which will serve as a reliable protection from the weather.
• Secondly, when trying various essential oils, be careful: some of them are bitter to taste, and some are generally forbidden for internal use( after all, licking your lips, you will swallow some balm).Information on essential oils should be studied thoroughly before using them.
• Thirdly, remember the percentage ratio of beeswax and other components: it is desirable that the wax content is not more than 30%, otherwise the product will turn out to be too hard and it will be difficult to apply to the lips.
