Natural Lip Balm
My daughter and I use so much lip gloss, lip balm, carmex etc...... I started to think if I could slowly change the items my family uses the most to natural products the healthier we will be. Starting with lip balm or lip gloss. I found this supper easy recipe for an all natural lip balm. The recipe is below and it was a great project for my daughter and I to do. Check it out......
All you need is:
Coconut oil
Beeswax
Containers
Vitamin E
You will also need a grater for the beeswax and a purex or any microwavable glass.
Basic ratio:
- 2 parts coconut oil
- 1 part beeswax
- a few drops of vitamin E
I used 2 tablespoon of coconut oil and 1 tablespoon of beeswax.
That measurement made 3 full 2oz containers
The vitamin E is not only good for your skin it also helps the shelf life. You can also add a few drops of food coloring and or essential oils.
microwave for 1 min then stir.
it will take about 3 min total.
Pour into containers (be carful very hot)
Let set....
(Over night)
Your Lips Will Love You.....
Back at it......
Yayyyyyyy I'm back. I took a short (well almost 2 years) break. However today after dropping my kiddies off at school I got "Inspired". Inspired to start posting again. I have been so busy over the last year or so that I lost all my creative mojo. In the last 2 hours I have fought google and my brain to log back into "Agesvision". I never realized how many emails and passwords I have.
I started an Agesvision instagram and that was so easy I forgot to post on my blog. Shame on me.... I am having so much fun looking back at my past post. I forgot how much fun it was to just post things that intrigued me, inspired me, upset me, enlightened me.
So I'm back. I promise to post weekly for now......
