All-natural DIY lip balm for even the most sensitive lips











Being that I live in a state where frigid temperatures and snow stick around for months on end, dry skin, hair, and lips are my life. I'm seriously two scales short of being considered a lizard by the end of February. My son isn't in much better shape. 


As if that's not bad enough we both have ultra sensitive skin, so pretty much anything with fragrances and fake shit destroy us. Chapsticks and lip-balms often being the biggest offenders. It's crazy, but most dry my lips out and leave them in worse shape. So, I started making my own. It's fantastic, and when I lose a stick, I don't cry about it, I make a new one.  Here's how:

My new go-to is Everyday Roots, Natural Healing Lip Balm.  It seriously blends earth's best to create the best lips possible. 


What you need:
-1 tablespoon grated beeswax or beeswax pastilles
-1 tablespoon virgin coconut oil
-A dash of organic raw honey

-2 vitamin e capsules

-several drops of essential oil (optional)-I added peppermint!


Once I'm finished crushing on my Peppermint healing lip balm, I'm going to give a few others try.  

1. Thank you, Beautilish, for this super yummy and moisturizing, Peppermint Lip Balm. There are only three ingredients! THREE. Do this. 






























2. Have kids with constantly chapped lips? Style Me Pretty, has the answer, Kool-Aid Lip Balm! Yes, Kool-Aid. It's as easy as, mix Bees Wax for a natural SPF, Coconut oil for serious moisturizing and then a tasty Kool-Aid. Use small containers, so if they are lost or filled with dirt, not too much is lost!



3. I want to try this, Mint Chocolate Lip Balm from, Food Plus Words, but I'm afraid I will eat it! What an incredibly tasty Lip Balm this must be! 



4. Free The People, offer an amazing Tea Tree and Coconut Oil Lip Balm. Super healing.
