Brilio.net - Lips naturally have a distinctive pink color. However, like other parts of the skin, lips are also susceptible to various problems, including dryness which can cause loss of natural color, even darkening. Various factors can contribute to this problem, ranging from a dry environment that causes dehydration, bad habits such as licking the lips that damage the natural protective layer, to pollution. All of these factors lead to the loss of the beauty of the natural color of the lips.
To overcome this problem, many people tend to rely on lip balm. This product is very popular as a quick and practical solution to prevent dry lips by forming a protective layer on the surface. However, high-quality lip balm often has a fairly expensive price, so not everyone can access it. On the other hand, affordable lip balm often only provides temporary benefits and can make lips even drier. In addition, the lip balm packaging available on the market is usually very little.
However, there is good news! Lip balm can be made easily and effectively using natural ingredients. You only need a few simple ingredients such as rose petals, coconut oil, and petroleum jelly from Vaseline. This method has been demonstrated by @glam_beauty_hacks on Instagram and reported by briliobeauty.net on Friday (17/1). By making your own lip balm, you can not only get an effective product but also create a beautiful color for your lips.

Roses are known for their fragrant and distinctive scent, but thats not all they have to offer. Roses contain antioxidants, vitamin C, and anti-inflammatory compounds, which can help rejuvenate and moisturize the lips. Antioxidants help fight free radicals that can damage the lips and cause premature aging, while vitamin C helps lighten dark lips.

Coconut oil is a natural ingredient that is widely used in various skin care treatments, including lips. Its fatty acid content helps lock moisture into the lips, preventing them from drying out. In addition, coconut oil also has antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, which help maintain healthy lips and prevent infections.

Vaseline, also known as petroleum jelly, is an effective protective product to lock in moisture in the lips. Vaseline forms a thin layer over the lips, preventing moisture loss and protecting them from the harsh effects of the environment. In addition, it helps smooth the lips and can restore the natural color of dark lips.
