Body Oil. In a pinch with nothing available? Run your finger along your nose (where natural oils tend to collect) and then rub it on your lips.
Olive Oil has been used for centuries to revitalize dry, overexposed skin. For chapped lips apply a small amount directly to your lips and rub it in. Olive oil can also be used as a carrier oil to mix with and dilute essential oils prior to application.
Vitamin E is integral in helping support healthy skin and in helping the body heal any kind of tissue, including the skin and lips. Add Vitamin E to your diet with sunflower, safflower and canola oils, sun-dried tomatoes, almonds and hazelnuts. You can also take vitamin E oil supplements, or prick the supplement capsules with a straight pin to squeeze out the oil and rub it directly on your skin to prevent scars or to alleviate chapped areas.
Interests: Living life as an intiatic experience, uniting with like minds and hearts to build a better, cleaner, more peaceful world, listening to the wisdom of the inner voice, communing with the elemental forces of Nature, the arts, media and communications, personal growth and development, the natural healing arts, interesting cuisines, cinema, all that expands the consciousness, betters the Self, and links me with THAT from Which I come.
Inspiration: Whitman, Thoreau, the Tao, deep meditation, spiritually anointed words carried on the human voice and the Cosmic Winds, being with those of like mind and calling.
I have been making my own lip balm for years and it's so simple and easy to do. By combining these simple ingredients; beeswax, olive oil and lavender you can make a fabulous product for chapped lips.
