How to DIY Lip Balm

Lips are embodiment of women’s sexuality and radiance. Natural lip care gives our lips beautiful shape, youth, volume and fills them with sensuality. Delicate and sensual, bright and fabulously smooth lips should be the merit of every woman who takes care of herself. But lip skin is very thin and demanding, therefore it requires special care and usual beauty aids wouldn’t be enough to get brilliant results. Thus I’d like to suggest you a wonderful recipe of a lip balm that is very easy to DIY.

To DIY beeswax-based lip balm one will need:
• Half a teaspoon of beeswax
• Half a teaspoon of cacao butter
• Two teaspoon of oil (almond or grapeseed oil, for instance)
• Food flavors
• A lipstick container

Melt all the necessary ingredients using hot-water bath, after add a pinch of coloring agent and aromatizer. If the lip balm turns out to be too soft or vice versa you just can decrease or increase the amount of oils. Pour out the derived mixture in the lipstick container and your own lip balm is ready to use!
This beeswax-based lip balm will make your lips succulent, soft and beautiful, besides it is very easy to DIY.

Make Your Own Bath Oils

Oil added to the bath helps to soften and nourish dry, damaged or stressed skin. The warmth of the bath helps the oil to be absorbed into the skin and provides an excellent moisturizing effect.
You can add any plain, herbal-infused or scented carrier oil to your bath. The carrier oils offer emolliency and nourishment for your skin, while essential oils promote various subtle energetic effects. Oil may also be added to a bath for nervous conditions, since it is said to nourish and protect the nerves.
Basic Oil Bath
Use 1-2 oz. of plain carrier per bath
Add oil to bathwater prior to immersion. Some good choices are coconut, olive, sesame or jojoba oil.
Basic Bath Oil Blend
This is a well-balanced oil blend for most skin types. It is nourishing and soothing and it is not too heavy or light. It provides an excellent base for the Aromatherapy Bath Oils that follow. This oil blend may also be used directly on the skin.
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 oz. olive oil
3 oz. almond oil
1 oz. sesame oil
1 oz. canola oil
1/2 oz. wheat germ oil
Pour oils in a jar, cap with a tight fitting lid and shake well. Add 1 oz. oil per bath. Makes 7 oz.
Basic Aromatherapy Bath Oil
You can create a wide assortment of aromatherapy oils for the bath by adding essential oils to the Basic Bath Oil Blend just described, or to any other carrier oil of your choice. These oils can also be used for massage. Use 1-2 teaspoons of Aromatherapy Bath Oil per bath. Note that the concentrated essential oils make the carrier oil stronger, so less oil is needed for the bath.
INGREDIENTS
15-30 drops essential oil of choice
1 oz. Basic Bath Oil Blend or other carrier oil of choice
Fill small-mouth jar with carrier oil, leaving 1/8 inch of space at the top. Add the essential oils drop by drop, cap the jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake well. Use 1-2 teaspoons of oil per bath.
