5 All-Natural DIY Lip Balms

Lip balm is incredibly inexpensive and easy to DIY. Check out our favorite recipes and see five handmade options we love!

If you’re looking to heal old scars (not everyone wants or needs to), a mixture of any of these natural ingredients or even using them alone will be extremely helpful for skin regeneration! Not overnight, of course! Give yourself a good 3-6 months of diligent daily use to see a major difference. My personal fav for the body? The bentonite clay, as seen on her leg (Aztec Healing Clay), mixed with Coconut Oil and Aloe Vera! Mix all three ingredients until it’s nice and muddy! Really dope. Exclude the Coconut Oil and add Vitamin E if the scar is on your face! P.S. The true key to fading old scars is keeping the skin moisturized! If you don’t have any of these ingredients, at least make sure your skin is never dry! Moisture, moisture, moisture!

Q:Hi Fran, firstly your'e amazing and inspiring and whenever I feel myself slipping into bad habits I come to your page and I feel motivated again so thank you!! I have a question about facial skin care. I tried the OCM but it was too drying for my face so i now use Burts Bees and then oil to moisturise which has been great. Have you ever looked into using Rhassoul clay as a face mask ? I want to try it but I thought I'd get your advice first. Thanks girl and keep at it :)

Ahhh! That’s awesome to hear. Thank you for the inspiration :)

Rhassoul Clay is everything! I love it cause you can use it on both your skin and hair, which is always my favorite sign (of true health) when it comes to beauty products. It’s an amazing detox and moisturizer, for both. Naptural85 just recently posted a DIY Hair Cleanser using the clay! Check it out here.

suite7beautytalk: Made raw & organic lip balm last night following HeyFranHey’s recipe - love the results! I’m allergic to Beeswax so had to tweak the ingredients a bit & also added a lil Peppermint flavor for taste - you can see everything I used & the final result at Suite7beautyTalk.com. I see you used Candelilla Wax instead of Beeswax. That’s also a great alternative for Vegans! Glad you loved it <3

Thank you so much for the kindness :) Buy a bottle of Lavender Essential Oil (I grab mine from Whole Foods) and put 5 drops on your pillowcase. Make sure it’s the side you rest your face on. You can also place the drops on a wash cloth and insert it into your pillowcase (on the side you sleep on, as well). You will be amaaazed at how well it works. Completely cured my insomnia! Just don’t overdo it with the drops. Too many and you’ll be asleep for days! lol
