Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy Monday! Oh. How I love Mondays! Except this one in particular. Late, late, late last night I got in from Park City Utah. I had spent a long weekend at the Sundance Film Festival. Good times.
Though I really struggled with the weather - the altitude freezing temperature combination was a havoc wreaker!
Which brings me to today's post - the need to have ample moisturizer with you at all times. I think I went through an entire tube of chapstick while there. Technically, this area is considered a high desert. Not sure how they got to that conclusion but what I do know is that it's very very dry even though it's covered in snow.
So it got me thinking about ingredients and the need to make my own lip balms. Like making my own lotion because then I know what is really in it and going on my skin.
I like using bees wax pastilles, coconut oil and a cleaned out pot from a different product that way I am reusing plastic. (I think plastic is the bane of our generation. What was once meant to help has become the greatest detriment to a global citizenry! Or so says I.)
I melt those together, maybe mix a lil scrape of used lipstick tube into the base for a hint of color and then pour into the container.
So I'm getting ready to make a batch and was looking for a new recipe. Maybe something more specific to making my own lip products and came across a blog post from Wellness Mama.
Holy smokes. This gal has got it dialed in and her description of how to make your own lip balm is the step by step instructions you need! Please use this link to get the WellnessMama recipe and easy to follow instructions for how to make your own healthy lip products!
Good luck and enjoy the making and mixing of your own makeups!
