Your lip consists of thin and soft skin that is prone to crack, chaps, and peels. It requires regular care to keep it strong and healthy. Use of moisturizer that contains harmful chemicals worsens the already bad situation. In case you are living in an area that experiences much wind and sun, you will have to deal with chapped and dry lips on a regular basis, if you are not careful. Instead of buying moisturizer when you are not sure if it will be effective, consider making a handmade organic lip balm. It is both cost-effective and healthy.

You will need to be accurate during the measuring of ingredients. You need to be sure of the content of specific product that you are likely to use. You will need to have a clear mind to eliminate instances of using the wrong type of ingredients. The Internet is a resourceful tool that can be used to research on the best moisturizing agents. The tablespoon measurement is the appropriate method of making sure the correct amount of ingredients have been used. Three parts of carrier oil (liquid), base wax should be 1 tablespoon, 1 spoon of solid butter, and three drops of essential oil.

Listing down all the ingredients and the procedures for making balms is imperative. In case you want to use candelilla wax in place of beeswax, use it in a bigger volume. A balm that is likely to create a glossy shine can be made using castor oil. The appropriate amount will be half tablespoon of castor oil.

Before including ingredients in your handmade balm, ensure they are advantageous to your skin. Natural products can never disappoint. However, it is worth noting that some natural products are poisonous so you will need to use only what is scientifically proven to be harmless. The procedure is quite simple, it entails pouring your desired oil in a measuring cup, addition of solid butter and beeswax. Eventually, the mixture is thoroughly stirred to achieve uniformity.

There should be enough heat to melt the contents of the cup. The outer surface should be thoroughly wiped to prevent contamination of inner contents. Three drops of quality essential oils should be added to the cup. The next step is to empty the contents of the cup into tubes and small tins.

The filling tray increases convenience, hence you should make a point of buying it. Large-scale production is possible since the tray has enough tubes. After the mixture has cooled down, cap the tubes, label them, and soften their top parts using a heat gun.

Oils are available in diverse categories. This creates flexibility since you can use different type oils interchangeably. Impurities tend to accumulate on the dermal layer of your lips; a moisturizer made of natural and herbal products can be used to remove them completely. Bases such as sunflower, sweet almond, and olive oils are preferable.

Health lip balms are made of natural colorants and advantageous herbal products. You should pour your selected oil inside a mason jar, add two or three tablespoon of herbal powder, cap it, and stores it inside a dark cabinet.
