Dry skin is the biggest enemy of healthy lips — the skin cracks, sometimes into blood, and speech or a smile become impossible without pain, cracking and deterioration of the appearance of the lips.
To combat this condition, there is an easy-to-use homemade balm that combines the healing properties of calendula and shea butter.
Shea butter is a creamy fatty substance extracted from the nuts of the mangifolia tree. Tree nuts are rich in vitamins and fatty substances, and their moisturizing properties have been known since ancient times, when it was one of the most popular oils from Egypt and Greece to the Middle East.
The content of oleic acid in this oil ranges from 40 to 60%; stearic acid from 20% to 50%; linoleic acid 3% to 11% and palmitic acid = 1%. The properties attributed to it by these powerful substances determine its millennial use in medicine, as well as in cosmetics: for the removal of skin diseases such as eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis in case of irritation of dry skin with burns, skin wounds and scars; reduces sunburn and insect bites, suitable for the treatment of fungal infections and skin protection from the cold.
The oil also used in the recipe gives the balm anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties: chapped lips most often suffer from bacterial and viral diseases such as herpes. By controlling inflammation and blood clotting, this ingredient protects and promotes faster lip repair.
To make a homemade balm, take: 1 tablespoon of shea butter, 3 large spoons of calendula oil, 1.5 small spoons of beeswax, 10-15 drops of aromatic oil of your choice and 3-5 drops of butter rich in vitamin E. The wax is cut into small pieces and placed in a water bath to melt. After melting, add the calendula oil and shea butter and start mixing to get a homogeneous mixture. The mixture is removed from the water bath and, with constant stirring, vitamin oil is added. It is important that the vitamin solution is not added while the mixture is still too hot, because vitamins are very sensitive to temperature and can evaporate if it is too high. Before drying, the mixture is poured into a suitable container or into old and well-cleaned lipsticks for balsam.
With this recipe, you will get 40-45 grams of the perfect lip balm that protects and heals your lips at the same time. Each of the products in the recipe can be found in specialty stores of biological products or a pharmacy. winnita
