[DIY] Honey as lip balm

Beauty Tips For Body Care
This is my first post on Reddit, so I apologize in advance if I’m doing anything wrong haha.I wanted to share that I’ve been looking for a chapstick/lip balm that would actually keep my lips hydrated and soft long term. I hated how everything made them soft once applied, but after an hour or so, they were back to dry.I noticed when I apply my face stuff, if I rubbed the hyaluronic acid over my lips, they’d actually be so hydrated they appeared plumper. I also noted the same would happened after using my homemade honey + coconut oil + sugar lip scrub. So I started researching, and found out that honey attracts water/draws moister down into your lips similar to how hyaluronic acid draws water into your skin.I made my own honey + coconut oil lip balm and now that’s all I use as lip gloss, chapstick, balm, anything. It’s not sticky like one might think. I find it’s stickier if I only apply a little, but if I really slather it on it just feels like a heavier lip balm. It could be used as a nighttime lip mask if you aren’t comfortable wearing it during the day. The honey draws moisture into your lips, and the coconut oil locks it in. My lips look super full and are now actually softened! Like when it wears off, my lips are soft and nourished.I didn’t use any specific measurement. All I know is it’s organic honey, and coconut oil. More honey than coconut oil so it does not become solid in storage.Thought I would share!
