As the winter approaches, so does dry skin. The lips being the most sensitive part of our face bears the load of dryness and are the first to show the signs. While it is necessary to apply a lip balm in all weather, it is essentially crucial to do so in winter, when chapped lips can lead to bleeding and irritation. However, we understand the hesitation to not rely on chemical-based ingredients and use only natural products, which is why today we are bringing you the best DIY lip balm recipes for you to try.
Today, we will talk about fruit lip balms and how to make a homemade lip balm. So let’s get started, shall we?
What Is A Lip Balm?
Before talking about fruit lip balms and how to make a homemade lip balm, let’s first understand what a lip balm is and why it is important. A lip balm is generally made from moisturising and nourishing agents that help in reversing the damage done by dry weather, sun rays, pollution etc and protects the lips from further damage. A lip balm hydrates your lips and keeps them moisturised for an extended period of time to protect against external stressors.
There are several benefits of using a lip balm such as:
- Healing Chapped Lips
- UV Protection
- Exfoliation
- Protection Against Damage
- Nourishment
However, to ensure maximum benefits, it is vital to use only natural lip balms such as Pure Sense’s wide range of lip balms.
