PINK LIPS

You will be surprised how easy it is to make natural pink lips balm at home

Not all store balms contain only natural ingredients, which often causes allergic reactions. This problem can be solved quite simply. You need to prepare a lip balm by yourself, and it will be much better and safer than its store counterpart. How to make pink 
lips balm at home? We offer you many interesting recipes for the homemade balm.

Probably no balm purchased in the store can boast of 100% natural ingredients. It is easy to justify because the manufacturer must produce a product that will have an attractive appearance and could be stored for a long time. Aromatic compounds and, of course, preservatives are used for this purpose.

Taking into account the above information, it is rather difficult to talk about the benefits of the store product. Of course, there are special shops where you can buy eco-cosmetics on the plant basis without the “chemistry,” but the price will be very high.

Quite another thing is homemade pink lips balm. Making with your own hands, you choose the high-quality components, control the preparation and monitor the shelf life. Besides, you get the following benefits:

  • Careful care of your lips.
  • Moisturizing throughout the day.
  • The presence of a harmless composition.
  • Minimal risk of allergies and irritation.
  • Budget savings.

How to make lip balm to get pink lips

Before starting the preparation of the balm, you need to prepare a clean container. Cooling balm quickly acquires a solid form, so you need to have on hand a suitable jar, a container of used lipstick. You will also need a set of basic ingredients. Their list can be changed and combined in different ways - this is a matter of your taste and financial capabilities.

Lips balm is made of such ingredients:

  • Wax. This ingredient is the basis by which the tool acquires a solid structure and does not melt. You can take beeswax. It has an excellent antiseptic effect, helps to heal cracks faster, relieves inflammation when weathering or burning in the sun. You can buy it in the markets from beekeepers or in stores with bee products. You can replace it with floral or candelilla wax, which can be found in stores with products for soap making.
  • Solid fats. This group includes coconut, mango, cocoa, and shea butter. Their presence in the recipe for lip balm provides a double moisturizing and wound-healing effect. You can also use ordinary petroleum jelly, but apart from the moisturizing effect, you will get nothing more.
  • Oils. All vegetable and essential oils will be perfect. For example, for dry, shriveled, dull lips, jojoba oil is suitable; for the prevention of cracks, peach oil is used, and in winter, you can add calendula and sea buckthorn oil. Or just add what is at home - olive, linseed, pumpkin oils.
  • Vitamins. Three vitamins are especially beneficial for the lips. Tocopherol rejuvenates the surface of the lips, removes radicals, restores lips after using lipstick. Vitamins A and B5 are responsible for the regeneration of microcracks, eliminate dryness and roughness. Tocopherol (Vit. E) can be purchased in a solution or a gelatin capsule (inside it is liquid), vitamin A, B5 - in ampoules.
  • Essential oils. For you to get a natural lip balm, it is useful to enrich it with healing oils. Choose the oil that you like - mint, fir, vanilla, orange, etc. In addition to the benefits, 2-3 drops of oil will give your balm a unique aroma.
  • Honey. This component softens the lips, disinfects their surface and gives the balm a sweet taste. You can use any natural honey.

How to make a lip balm pink and give it fragrance

Preparing a balm only on the basis of wax or vaseline, you get a colourless tool. If you want to give the balm a bright colour, you can add the following natural products to it:

  • Berry or beetroot juice. Make a pink lip balm with a few drops of red berries juice - raspberries, cranberries, cherries. Of course, do not forget that beetroot juice has a very nice color and can be used as a natural colouring. It is necessary to add the juice to the melted wax and boil the mixture for 2 minutes over low heat. Colour saturation can be adjusted by reducing or increasing the amount of juice.
  • Food colourings. This is a simpler, but less useful option. You need to add a few granules of the colouring powder to the wax.

Well, to bring the balm to full perfection,
