BY LAUREN FOR YOUR SKIN

I have all of these leftover essential oils I bought for the beard oil, so let's use them.

BALM

Things you'll need:

Coconut oil

5 drops of Lavender oil

5 drops of Rosewood oil

5 drops of Oak moss oil

5 drops of Tea tree oil

5 Vitamin E capsules

Small chunk of raw Shea butter

Beeswax

Empty containers

Step 1:

Shred your beeswax.

I used my cheese grater.

Step 2:

Melt 3 tablespoons of the coconut oil over medium-low heat.

After the coconut oil has melted add the beeswax.

Small amounts at a time.

This will determine the consistency of your balm; so start with a small amount.

Dip a spoon in the mixture and see how hard it gets after it cools.

Step3:

Add the Shea butter and stir until melted.

Now you add your essential oils.  If you search online you can find the benefits

of different oils & then determine which are best for your

skin type.

Pop the Vitamin E capsules with a pin and squeeze them out into the balm mixture.

 

Step 4:

Pour the mixture into a designated tin. I found mine on Etsy.

(those chunks in the mixture is actually orange peel from my grater... guess I

suck at cleaning things)

Step 5:

Time to let them cool, you can either leave them to cool on your counter or

for a speedy cool down put them in your fridge for about 5 minutes.

Now to prove how good balms are here is a clip of greatness:
