This DIY lip balm recipe is quick and easy. Essential oil lip balm is a great way to refresh your lips and avoid rough, cracked, or chapped skin!
You can even use this recipe on other areas where your skin needs a little extra moisture. The all natural ingredients are safe, healthy, and easy to pronounce (a must for me lately). I love that these adorable DIY lip balms each have their own uplifting scent as well.
