Lip balm is not only tasty, it is also a great way to keep your lips soft and smooth. If you have suddenly run out, before you head to the shops to buy a new one, why not try making your own one at home.
 
Here we have a created a pretty lickable peppermint one, but you can make it any flavour you like.
 
What you’ll need:
1 tsp peppermint extract
2 tbsp almond oil
1 tbsp beeswax
An old lipstick
 
Method:
  • To start off with, melt the beeswax in the microwave before adding the almond oil.
  • Give it a good mix and stir in the peppermint oil.
  • Use a knife to grate your lipstick into fine pieces.  Sprinkle it over your beeswax and almond oil mix and give it a good mix.
  • Pour into a small tin. You can use an old balm tin that you might have floating around.
  • Leave to harden overnight before using.
It is particularly easy to make so why not give it a try.
