We often neglect the health and wellbeing of our lips when it comes to our beauty routine, thinking that covering them with a nice trendy lipstick is enough to make them look beautiful and healthy. To stay soft and have a lovely colour at all times, lips need specific care and the use of a lip balm that is as natural as possible.
A few tips

In the evening, we should take care to brush our lips with a dry soft-bristled toothbrush: this will reactivate circulation and give them a gentle natural scrub, removing those annoying flakes of dry skin that sometimes appear when the skin is too dry.
Before going to sleep, we can also dab a drop of olive oil onto our lips with our fingers: by morning they will be soft and ready for the day.

During the day, we can keep our lips moisturised with a lip balm made by our own hands. Ensuring constant hydration is without doubt the first protective measure to put in place to prevent dryness.

Recipe for a natural lip balm
Ingredients:
1 teaspoon of strawberry syrup;
1 teaspoon of castor oil;
2 teaspoons of shea butter;
1 teaspoon of beeswax.

Method:
Melt all the ingredients together in a bain-marie, then pour them into a container to cool. Once cooled, divide the mixture and place it into small jars, handy to keep in your bag. Since this lip balm contains no preservatives, it is best used within a limited period of time — a week at most.
