Lip balm is not only tasty, it is also a great way to keep your lips soft and smooth. If you have suddenly run out, before you head to the shops to buy a new one, why not try making your own one at home.
Here we have a created a pretty lickable peppermint one, but you can make it any flavour you like.
What you’ll need:
1 tsp peppermint extract
2 tbsp almond oil
1 tbsp beeswax
An old lipstick
2 tbsp almond oil
1 tbsp beeswax
An old lipstick
Method:
- To start off with, melt the beeswax in the microwave before adding the almond oil.
- Give it a good mix and stir in the peppermint oil.
- Use a knife to grate your lipstick into fine pieces. Sprinkle it over your beeswax and almond oil mix and give it a good mix.
- Pour into a small tin. You can use an old balm tin that you might have floating around.
- Leave to harden overnight before using.
It is particularly easy to make so why not give it a try.
