Cranberry Lip Balm Recipe


Create your own lip balm and enjoy not only softer lips but a subtle hint of color as well. There is a good feeling about knowing exactly what is in products you are using on your body. Purchasing these oils is an investment. You can use them on your cuticles as well as many other recipes for homemade skin care. You can also use strawberries, cherries, raspberries or any fruit with the color you are seeking. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

10 fresh cranberries
1 tbsp sweet almond oil
1 tsp honey
1 drop of Vitamin E oil
Directions:

Mix all the ingredients together in a microwave safe bowl.

Microwave for a couple of minutes or until the mixture just begins to boil. (Bowl may also be heated in a pan of water on a stovetop).

Stir well and gently crush the berries. Cool mixture for five minutes and then strain through a fine sieve to remove all the fruit pieces. Stir again and set aside to cool completely.

When cool, transfer into a small portable plastic container or tin. You can purchase these almost anywhere or use containers you already have on hand from products that you have used up.
