Handmade lip balm
New post dedicated to wellness gift ideas useful for dealing with these cold December days. As I have suggested several times, taking care of the skin and of our lips during the winter season is essential because the skin slows down its activities in order to retain as much heat in the body and for this reason overshadows the production of fats that have the ability to retain water: that's why the skin gets dry.
Today I talk about the Homemade Lip Balm to make at home and customize for the person to whom we are going to give.

What you need:
- Yellow beeswax
- Coconut oil
- Essential oil (choice)
- Small tube for lip balm
- Glass bowl
- Pipette or syringe

METHOD:
- In a glass bowl, add a tablespoon of beeswax and place in microwave for 45 seconds at maximum power.
- Remove the bowl from the microwave and add a spoonful of coconut oil. Return the bowl to microwave for another 45 seconds. If the wax has not completely melted, put it back in the microwave until it is completely liquid.
- At this point you can add to the mixture a few drops of essential oil of your choice (do not overdo the drops to not have a too strong aroma)
- Return everything in microwave to keep the liquid warm.
- With a pipette or syringe take some liquid wax and insert it into the tube. It is recommended to work rather quickly to prevent the wax from solidifying inside the syringe / pipette. If the wax starts to harden in the bowl, simply take them for a few seconds in the microwave.
- Once the container has been filled, let it cool for half an hour.
And here is the Lip Balm ready!
As always, I suggest you apply a label to the container with the ingredients in the lip balm.
I hope you enjoyed this gift idea, if you tried to replicate it let me know in comments!
