You should choose a lip balm with protection against UVA rays, because the skin of the lips is very sensitive and has almost no melanin.
The dry lips are very uncomfortable and do not look good at all. They are also painful and make wearing a lipstick a nightmare. Maybe that’s why living without a balm is almost impossible. Generally you do not have only one but at least three: in the room, in the office and in the wallet.
The home made lip balm has three main benefits: it protects, nourishes and repairs. The most advisable is to use natural and neutral balms. With those who taste, people tend to constantly suck their lips and the recurrent action of saliva on them favors the dehydration of them.
Camellia oil
Camellia flower extracts an oil that has anti-aging benefits and stimulates the production of collagen in the lips, making them look bigger and softer.
Homemade lip balm with coconut oil
We have already talked about coconut oil to explain how to make a lip balm with beeswax, but you can also make this other recipe.

- A clean and empty container, preferably opaque to protect the contents of sunlight.
- A bowl suitable for microwave and a spoon to mix.
