With changing weather, the problem of dry, cracked, and dull lips becomes common. People often buy expensive lip balms containing chemicals that only temporarily moisturize the lips but can make them dark and dry in the long run. In such cases, there is no need to spend money on expensive cosmetic products; using just two natural ingredients from your kitchen, you can prepare an excellent natural lip balm.
This homemade balm not only deeply moisturizes the lips, making them soft like butter, but also restores the natural pink tone of the lips. Below is the simplest way to prepare and use it.
The following components are required for preparation: 1 teaspoon of pure clarified butter (desi ghee), 1 small teaspoon of coconut oil (to lock in moisture) or beeswax instead of coconut oil, and 1-2 Vitamin E capsules for nourishment and protection.
First, grate beetroot in a small bowl and squeeze out one teaspoon of thick juice. Then, add one teaspoon of melted clarified butter to this juice. Both components should be whisked with a spoon until a creamy paste is obtained.
Transfer the resulting mixture into a small glass jar or an old balm container and place it in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes to harden. It is recommended to apply the balm to the lips daily before bed, as well as 2–3 times during the day. Clarified butter will provide deep nutrition, and beetroot will give the lips a natural pink color.
