    DIY lip balm is easier to make then you think. With just a few ingredients, you can make your own customized lip balm that will keep your lips protected. 

    DIY Lip Balm

     

    Summer is right around the corner which also means countless hours for your face in the Sun!

    We make sure to apply sunscreen to our skin, we put hats on to protect our faces, we make sure to stay hydrated,but there is one body part we forget. That is until we get home and realize that our lips are starting to hurt. That is when we realize that we forgot one spot on our body to apply sunscreen to, our lips! 

     

    DIY Lip Balm

    According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, lips have no melanin, so they are more susceptible to sun damage. In return, that sun damage can result in lip cancer! That is why it is so important to take care of our lips!

    Until last Summer, I was awful about taking care of my lips during the Summer. I learned the hard way after a day in the sun! My lips were so dry, raw, and swollen. Lesson learned! Now each time I am in the sun I use lip balm.

    The American Academy of Dermatology suggests that we use SPF every time we are outside on our lips whether it is cloudy or sunny. And we are to reply the sunscreen every two hours. Making sure that we protect our lips from sunburn is easier then you think!

    Here are some easy Summer Lip Care tips to help keep your lips looking and feeling their best!

    1. Look for lip products that have ingredients like beeswax as it helps seal the moisture in.
    2. Look for lip gloss with a minimum of SPF 30.
    3. Exfoliate your lips with sugar, coconut oil, and vitamin E oil to remove the skin cells that have died on your lips.
    4. Moisturize your lips with lip balms like the DIY one below. A wonderful time to moisturize your lips is at bedtime. Apply lip balm liberally at night before you go to bed.

    Making your own DIY lip balm with essential oils is very easy and it will help you keep your lips moisturized!
