DIY Lip Balm
February is a great time to refresh your beauty routine with aromatherapy, especially since the cold weather and dry air can affect your skin and mood. Why not start with a DIY lip balm?
Most of us have experienced chapped lips at some point during the colder months. They can be the bane of our lives; flaky, sore and generally uncomfortable.
A lot of high street balms can be expensive and sometimes, just don’t live up to the hype.
However, it’s so easy to make a cheap yet effective balm in your own home!
Here’s how:
Nourishing DIY Lip Balm
Use coconut oil, shea butter, and peppermint oil to make a deeply hydrating lip balm.
DIY Recipe:

Say goodbye chapped lips and have fun creating your very own balm. Your lips will be soft, smooth, and kissable in no time! 💋✨
