In winter or excess sunlight, bursting of lips is a very common problem. Many lip balm found in the market contain chemicals, which are not effective for a long time. In such a situation, domestic lip balm made of Shia butter is a natural and safe option. It not only keeps the lips hydrated but also makes them pink and healthy.
Experts believe that the fatty acids and vitamins present in Shia butter take care of the lips. It is rich in anti-inflammatory properties, causing the dryness and cuts of the lips to be filled quickly.
To make lip balm from Shia butter, you need 1 teaspoon of Shia butter, 1 teaspoon coconut oil, 1 teaspoon beswax and a few drops vitamin E oil. If you want, you can also add lavender or daily oil for light fragrance.
First of all melt beeswax, coconut oil and Shia butter on low flame in double boiler. When these three meet well, add vitamin E oil and preferred essential oil drops and mix well.
Put the prepared mixture into a small container or lip balm box and let it cool. After freezing, apply it on the lips every morning and night. With regular use, lips will always be soft, glowing and beautiful.
