Personalized natural lip balm

Want to learn how to make your own personalized lip balm? Let me share with you these easy steps for making your own natural lip balm. What’s good about making your own is that you get the benefit of knowing exactly what you're putting on your mouth. Many commercial lip balms are made with petroleum derivatives which have been banned from cosmetic use in many countries because they contain impurities that can cause cancer and other health problems.

So here are the basic three ingredients of a lip balm recipe to get you started:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil or sweet almond oil

• 1 tablespoon grated beeswax (you can use a pure beeswax candle for this)

• 1 Vitamin E capsule (400 IU)

Instructions:

• Place the oil and wax in a heatproof cup (such as a heavy glass measuring cup.) Poke a hole in

the Vitamin E capsule and squeeze its liquid into the oil and wax mixture.

• Place the heatproof cup in a pot of water on the stove and heat on low just until the wax melts. Remove immediately from heat.

• Pour the liquid into a small screw-cap jar or lip balm jar or tube. Allow to cool (it will solidify) before using.

It’s easy isn’t it? With just a few ingredients and few minutes time, you can make your own personalized natural lip balms.

Beauty and skin care product test

I wrote in my other blog that my sister and I are planning to put up our beauty care business. Last month she bought some product samples for us to try first before selling them. For me i tried the eye wrinkle cream, the whitening cream for my daughter and sister, and whitening lotion for my sister also. After two weeks of using it we observed a little improvement on our skin. Though the effect is gradual we can say the product is effective and maybe after continuous use we can already see the big difference. Since there's a saying that "to see is to believe" so we try it first, this way we can tell our future customers that our products are effective and really worth to try.  I will try to post an update on our product testing next time so stay tuned.;)
