Aloe Vera Lip Balm Benefits: Read The Recipe

Posted by Lucifer Smith on April 12th, 2021

The watery, gel-like material found in aloe vera leaves has healing, soothing, and anti-inflammatory properties that make it perfect for treating skin conditions, such as chapped lips. If you have winter vacation plans, you can take an empty lip gloss container filled with aloe vera lip balm for traveling.

Pure aloe vera is beneficial to use on sensitive areas where other skin goods should not go, such as your lips and around your eyes. The medical literature researching aloe vera for chapped lips is narrow, so it is hard to be assured how effective it is. But some people say it works great and is beneficial to use.

Benefits Of Aloe Vera On Lips

Aloe vera has numerous benefits for your lips, both when they are chapped or not. These benefits include:

• It binds moisture to your skin, making them less dry
• It has anti-inflammatory properties that fight against irritation
• It also infuses your lips with antioxidants that remove wrinkles and reduce other forms of skin damage

How To Use It?

You can purchase pure aloe vera gel from many health foods or pharmacy retailers. Glide on a small amount to the chapped area using your fingers once or twice per day.

You can also get creative with the ways that you use aloe vera for chapped lips. A DIY lip balm that protects while it heals your lips is one way to do this. Just be cautious of allergies to any ingredients and be aware that DIY recipes are anecdotal.

What You Need?

• 2 tablespoons pure coconut oil
• 1/2 tablespoon beeswax
• 1 teaspoon shea butter
• 1 teaspoon aloe vera
• 8 to 10 drops jojoba oil or almond oil

How To Make Aloe Vera Lip Balm?

Let’s start with melting the coconut oil and shea butter in a double boiler method over medium heat. You ensure to stir occasionally and turn the heat off when you see blended ingredients. Let the mixture cool, then transfer in the empty lip gloss container. Add the aloe vera to the chilled mixture. You can use a dropper to add in the essential oil. When it solidifies, you can take it on the go.
