By Nicole Smith


Making your own lip balm is not only fun, it is also an easy to do and provides a self-satisfactory experience knowing that you have created your own lip balm you can use personally.

Making your homemade lip balm has a lot of factors to be considered and here are some of them:

1. One of the things to consider is the color. You have to decide whether or not put color or tint into your homemade lip balm. If you have made a decision to put color into your lip balm mixture, you have to make a decision on what color you would want to mix with your homemade lip balm. The color that you should choose should suit you best.

2. Other than the color of your lip balm, making a decision of whether to put in cent into your lip balm mixture is another thing to consider. For the purpose of adding scent into your lip balm mixture, essential or botanical oils may be use depending on your preference. Making sure to put only a minimal amount of essential or botanical oil is essential because putting too much may cause lip irritation.

3. Consistency of the lip balm is another important factor to consider. For more solid and hard lip balms, more wax should be added. On the other hand, if you want your homemade lip balm to be softer, you should mix more oils.
