Lip balm is a salve or wax-like substance that you apply to your lips to increase moisture. Chapped or dry lips are quite common, especially as the weather gets colder and dryer. Using lip balm fights the dryness by creating an occlusive layer on the lips. This helps to protect the lips from external exposure and ultraviolet damage, and it also helps them retain moisture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are chemically flavored or colored lip balms that have unnatural ingredients, but you can easily make a lip balm with natural ingredients that provide moisture. For the lip balm recipe in this article, the most time-consuming step is the making the rose-infused oil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take a handful or dried rose petals and add them to a jar with enough olive oil to completely submerge the petals. If you don\u2019t want to use olive oil, you can use avocado oil, grapeseed oil, or sunflower oil. Close the lid on the jar and leave it in a cool, dry place for three weeks. Strain the rose petals after three weeks and that\u2019s your rose-infused oil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rose petals contain a variety of antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins that work to moisturize dry skin<\/a>. Because rose petals have astringent properties, they help to combat inflammatory skin disorders<\/a>, acne, and any redness on the skin. Rose-infused oil or rosewater are also beneficial because they contain antibacterial properties. Additionally, rose oil works to balance the skin\u2019s pH level<\/a> and minimize the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You don\u2019t typically think of vanilla extract when you think of skin care. It\u2019s only for desserts, right? Wrong. Alcohol-free vanilla extract is excellent for fighting acne<\/a> because the vanillin has antibacterial and antioxidant properties. Those same antioxidants help to neutralize free radicals on the skin, which can reduce premature signs of aging<\/a> (dark spots, wrinkles, and fine lines). Finally, anyone with dry skin can benefit from using vanilla extract. The B-vitamins<\/a> in vanilla play a role in nourishing skin cells, and they help lock in moisture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The high fatty acid content in cocoa butter makes it an excellent ingredient for nourishment and hydration. The fats in cocoa butter also create a protective barrier on the skin to help it retain moisture. This is wonderful news for your lips because that\u2019s exactly what you want out of a lip balm. The phytochemical in cocoa butter work to increase blood flow to the skin, which not only slows the signs of aging, but also provides protection from UV rays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Provide nourishment to your lips when you apply this DIY rose vanilla lip balm that you can easily make with natural ingredients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":117928,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,53],"tags":[7781,9325,2177,2391,2436,2566,2604,2848,3146,3227,3284,3333,3692,3800,7075,7538],"yoast_head":"\nHow Vanilla Benefits The Skin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
