Natural Chapped Lip Remedy Using 3 Simple Ingredients

As soon as the air gets chilly, all sorts of unpleasant things tend to happen to your skin and any body parts that are exposed to the elements.

I used to reach for the petroleum jelly to cure my skin ailments because that's what my mother and her mother did, and then a few years ago, it finally hit me -- I've been rubbing solid fossil fuel oil into my body this whole time!!

In an effort to green up my act, I researched a lot of different emolient alternatives and found that at least in terms of treating my chapped lips, this simple 3 ingredient recipe really does the trick.

Hopefully it'll help you, too -- it never fails to rehydrate tender skin since it penetrates really deeply and I like the fact that the oil base is vegetarian (it's extracted from castor beans).

RECIPE:

1/2 teaspoon of honey

1/2 teaspoon fresh squeezed lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon castor oil

Mix all ingredients well and apply liberally to chapped lips right before bedtime.

On a slightly somewhat related note, if you're looking for a homemade lip balm with some color to it, this recipe for beet root glycerin stain works really well.
