2 easy lips care recipes

1. Beet Red Lip Gloss

Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup beeswax
  • ¼ cup castor oil
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • beet juice

Instructions:

Melt beeswax, remove from heat and add oils. Add as much beet juice as desired for color. Store in jar.

2. Lip Balm

Ingredients:


  • 3 tablespoons grated unbleached beeswax
  • 5 teaspoons carrier oil (sunflower, castor or jojoba)
  • 6 or 7 drops essential oil (such as lime, lemon, tangerine, grapefruit or peppermint)
  • 1 teaspoons honey, for flavor

Instructions:

Melt the beeswax and carrier oil together in the top of a double boiler, stirring to combine. Remove from heat; add honey and essential oil. Mix thoroughly so the honey does not clump. To add a little color, stir in a tiny dab of lipstick with a coffee stirrer. Pour the mixture into containers; let sit 20 minutes before covering or moving. For glossier lip balm, use 2 teaspoons wax and 8 teaspoons carrier oil.
