Christmas Stocking Stuffer Idea: Easy DIY Lip Balm
Using only a few ingredients, today we’re going to make a lip balm.
In the winter months, our lips get incredibly dry, and we find it hard to wear lipstick or anything else on our lips because they are cracked and feel so sore and sensitive. This lip balm is the solution to that!
And, with the Holidays coming up, this DIY lip balm also makes a great Christmas stocking stuffer idea.
Let’s get started!
Tools and materials:
- Spoon
- Bowls
- Shea butter
- Beeswax
- Coconut oil
- Honey
- Vitamin E oil
- Small container
1. Melt together butter and oil
In a bowl, combine three tablespoons of shea butter and three tablespoons of coconut oil. Melt the ingredients together in a microwave.
2. Add beeswax
While the mixture is still hot, add one tablespoon of beeswax.
If you don’t have beeswax or you don’t want to use it, you can use soy wax instead.
3. Add honey and vitamin E oil
Next, add one tablespoon of honey and a few drops of vitamin E oil and stir the ingredients together well.
4. Melt the mixture
The beeswax takes a long time to melt, so now you are going to melt the entire mixture again.
5. Transfer to a small container
The final step is to transfer the mixture to a small container, then let the lip balm cool and harden for a few days before using it.
