Homemade Lip Gloss



Yeap thats rite! U can actually make ur own lip gloss at home! its super easy and super safe!



How did i started and got this whole idea?

Basically i have really dry and chapped lips, it looks bad and feels bad at the same time. tried many chapped sticks ( even Vaseline ) but the results were not satisfying at all...

Then I was actually going through some skin care research via online and I came accross with some videos, then one cought my eyes of "homemade lip gloss!" I was so eager to know and did more studying on it, was really amaze with the results that i actually found.

Its so natural and you actually noe what really contains in ur lip gloss without any doubts! If you are prone to chapped lips you will love making your own homemade lip gloss because you can add just the right ingredients in amounts that are perfect for your lips.

A good lip gloss can very expensive and often you do not get very much more your money. Learning how to make homemade lip gloss will not only save you money but it will you give the opportunity to make a lip gloss that is unique and perfect for you.




Select Your Base

Most home made lip gloss recipes begin with a base of either Vaseline or Beeswax. If you are looking for extra moisture you will want to use Vaseline or petroleum jelly. When you're just learning how to make lip gloss, Vaseline is a good start; it is not simple to use, and unlike beeswax, it doesn't require any additional equipment. Vaseline and beeswax will give you a slippery smooth lip gloss. A beeswax base will make a lip gloss that is firmer and more of a lip balm. It offers excellent protection from the sun, wind and weather. But seens i have Vaseline at home, i use that instead!



Next - Get Creative!

Using Vaseline or beeswax as your base, add ingredients for flavor, extra moisture, aroma or whatever you want to try to turn a generic homemade lip gloss into a one of a kind for you. Here are a few recipes to get you started.


Here is a Really Easy Homemade Lip Gloss Recipe


Honey Lip Balm

1 tsp Vaseline / beeswax
1 tsp of honey
2 tsp almond oil

Melt the Vaseline / beeswax in the microwave. Heat the ingredients in small increments of time so as not to overheat. Combine ingredients in a small bowl and whisk to blend completely. Pour into a small pot and let cool until set.

Mint Lip Gloss

Melt 1 Tablespoon of Vaseline or petroleum jelly in the microwave as in previous recipe. Add 2-3 drops of peppermint to taste. Pour in pot. Let cool and set.

Other ingredients to try:

Cocoa powder
Flavored Drink Crystals
Kool-Aid
Sweet Almond Oil
Peppermint Essential Oil
Coconut Oil
Vitamin E
