Make your own lip balms

It's quick and easy to make your own lip balms and making your own works out a lot cheaper too.  I had a go and making some a little while back and they don't take long to make, about 20 minutes for a lot of five.

I haven't included exact quantities here as I didn't measure them out, I just did it by handfuls.  If you want to make some yourself you just need some cosmetic grade beeswax, some Shea butter and some Vitamin E oil, I brought all of my supplies on eBay, including tins to put them in but you can reuse small tins or old lip balm tins if you want to.

You just melt the beeswax, and then add some Shea butter, when all of this is melted in you can then remove it from the heat and stir in some Vitamin E.  Pour into the tins but don't touch the outside of them for a while - they'll be scalding hot.

That's it.  Lip balms for far cheaper than you would but them anywhere else.
