6 Homemade Lip Balms You Must Try

Lip balm is something that we can’t live without. Many of us keep a lip balm in our bag, one at our work desk, one at the dressing table and even in the bathroom. The main purpose of using lip balm is to nourish our lips, and what can do that better than natural ingredients. So, why not make a homemade lip balm for your lips? The lip balms that we get in the market come in various flavors and colors, but contain hazardous chemicals that can harm lips in the long run. When you prepare a homemade lip balm, you can not only customize the ingredients, but also can make sure that the formula is 100% chemical free.
