Skin Care Tuesday: DIY Lip Plumping Balm

February 23, 2016

Plump lips have been all the rage lately from Angelina Jolie’s iconic pout to Kylie Jenner’s lips that seem to have gotten plumper overnight. I personally am not a fan of injections so I always opt for plumping glosses and balms.
Recently I found a recipe for a DIY plumping lip balm on Helloglow.co
I tried it and tweaked it to my liking, and have been loving it. It is so good

Ingredients

 

*If you prefer a firmer consistency you can increase the beeswax amount and decrease the coconut oil. And if you prefer a more liquid balm, decrease the beeswax and increase the coconut oil.

*I use 2 drops of cinnamon oil because my lips are sensitive.

Instructions

In a pot combine the oils and beeswax. Over low heat, stir until both are completely melted. Remove from heat then add the vitamin E liquid (puncture the capsules and squeeze), honey and essential oil. Transfer to lip balm containers. You’ll have about 5-10 minutes until it starts to harden.

This lip plumping balm is awesome, It has a  nice cooling and plumping effect.  I use it at night like a  serum. Also, because of the Vitamin E, coconut & almond oil, and honey it is very moisturizing. **If you hate cinnamon oil and do not want plump lips, replace cinnamon oil for sweet orange oil for an all around amazing lip balm.
