| Lip Balm. Revived. |
I had bought this Wild Argan Lip Balm from The Body Shop hoping that it would help soothe my wind burn.
It did not end well: the result was even tragic.
My lips chapped and became very dry and flaky.
I cannot resist not removing the skin and there I was with a bloody upper lip, literally.
I had been using the moisturizing balm from them and it was great so I think this Wild Argan thing is not really meant for me.
Since I had decluttered my makeup bag/box, I don't want to have this almost full balm away.
Thanks to Pinterest I found a way to at least "revive" it.
I emptied it out in a glass jar, added a table spoon of petroleum jelly in cocoa, a few drops of olive oil and a generous amount of almond oil.
I chopped off a bit of my fave pink lipstick to add a little tint.
I placed the jar in a shallow pan with boiling water to melt and mix everything up.
Just after five minutes of stirring, everything have melted.
Then, I had placed it back on the original tiny tin container and put it in the fridge to harden up for approximately 15 minutes.
Tada!
I have my lip balm once again.
Surprisingly, it is now working well with my lips, so goodbye, wind burn!
