-

Lip care gave you an overview of lip care tips. Knowing that, you can easily prepare lip gloss recipes. 


Lip gloss is a part of every woman's lip care routine. They can be shimmery, translucent, colored. Their purpose is not only to beautify the lips and make them appear luscious and kissable, it protects the lips from drying.


Not only you know exactly what you put in them, you are able to custom make them so they have a flavor or fragrance of your choice.

Chocolate lip gloss recipe


Preparation of lip gloss recipes require the same equipment used for preparation of lip balm recipes : double boiler, saucepan or a microwave safe container. You will also need a small jar or container that you can store it in.


Honey Citrus Lip Gloss


Ingredients
7-8 tsp. sweet almond oil
2 tsp. beeswax
1 Vitamin E capsule
1 tsp. honey
5 drops citrus flavoring or essential oil (we like lime)
Microwave-safe container with lid
Cosmetic/balm container with lid




Preparation


Melt the sweet almond oil and beeswax together in the microwave safe container for 1-2 minutes.
Remove the mixture from the microwave, and pierce the vitamin E capsule with a pin or tip fo a knife, and squirt into mixture. 
Whisk the contents of the VitE capsure, honey, and flavoring, into the oil mixture, continuing to whisk until set.
Spoon your new lip gloss into a small, balm container with tight lid.


Note
This lip gloss recipe is pretty much the most perfect recipe I have seen lately. It contains almond oil and Vitamin E. Why is this significant?


Almond oil is an emolient, like glycerin. It locks in the moisture and keeps it there, leaving the lips soft and hydrated.


Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that helps the skin heal and remain healthy. These two are a great combination. Your lips will be protected from free radicals and nourished at the same time.

Peaches Anti-Cancer

Peaches are good for you because they are a source of vitamins A and C and they are a good source of fiber especially with the peal. Peaches are also a good source of potassium and contain some calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and folate. Though low in calories—one cup of sliced peaches has only 60 calories—and composed of 80 percent water, peaches are packed with fiber, vitamins, minerals, and carotenoids. The dose of fiber in peaches acts as a gentle laxative, aids digestion, and may also help combat cancer.  Peaches is rich in cancer-fighting vitamin A in the form of beta carotene,  as well as the immune-boosting vitamin C, which also protects against heart disease. Rich in iron and potassium, peaches help ensure proper functioning of cells, the balance of fluid and electrolytes in the body, and nerve signaling.  Lutein and zeaxanthin —two carotenoids found in peaches—help guard against blindness caused by age-related macular degeneration.
