Making your own lip balm is a great gift idea. It's easy to do and you can take your time experimenting to get just the right flavor, consistency, etc. Below are some recipes for you to try--you'll see that all require beeswax, which can be easily found at natural foods stores. These stores will also carry the oils needed. Feel free to experiment with other flavored or essential oils.





A few things to think about before making the lip balm:





* because the ingredients call for such small quantities, you'll need to find a VERY small pan to use for melting; often using the double boiler method is a good solution








* you will need to find some mini pots to use for filling with lip balm--you can find these at craft stores or through suppliers of home remedy/natural products


* if you want to add a little tingle to your lip balm, try SMALL amounts of menthol or tea tree oil

I have one that is awesome, and is so easy, every time I wear it out people give me compliments, and when I tell them it's homemade they are so shocked!





Here's how to make it








Put Vaseline in a small container, add as much lipstick/lip gloss as you want for the desired color, (excellent way to get rid of those bits and ends at the end of the tube)
You can just use vegetable oil and nothing else.


Just smear some on your lips and it gives your lips a nice glossy shine.


It's natural and its simple.


just drop some in a little pot and smear a little on your lips every now and then.
i like adding a little lipstick and some petroleum jelly in a small ceramic teacup and putting it in the microwave for 2mins. on high..
