Chapped lips – who doesn’t experience them? This is especially true during the winter season when we get exposed to cold and dry weather. Dry air, cold temperature and wind can easily remove moisture from the body. And because the skin in our lips is so thin, they are usually the first to experience dryness. Hot weather too can be harsh on our lips.

Lip balm is the instant solution to chapped lips. It is usually made from beeswax, petroleum jelly, menthol, camphor, and other ingredients. It comes in tiny containers/tubs or sticks, and is easily available over-the-counter. But if you want something all-natural, you can make your own. There are different homemade lip balm recipes available on the internet. The process is so simple that even little girls (with adult supervision, of course) can make their own.
