How To Make Lip Balm At Home

Lips are extremely delicate part of our body. Only a thin layer of skin protects them. Lips are very much prone to drying out than the rest of our body parts because they are always exposed to natural elements like dust, heat, dryness. Result? Dry chapped and cracked lips! So it becomes imperative to take proper care of our lips. Dry and cracked lips are extremely painful. And chapped lips are embarrassing too. The best way to protect our lips is using lip balm. Let’s check out my post on how to make lip balms at home.

Lip balm adds a layer of protection on our lips. A good lip balm seal up cracks and prevents any kind of infection on lips. Few lip balms also come with SPF, which protects our lips against sun damage and prevent discoloration. If you have dry lips, no lipstick will look good on you. Lipsticks look best on moist soft lips. Lip balms are made to lock the moisture on your lips. Lots of lip balms are available in the market these days. But most of them contain chemicals & preservatives that can be harmful for our delicate lips. So what’s the solution? Make your own lip balm. In this post we have discussed how to make lip balm at home.
