Moon and sun lip balm

This recipe with calming lavender and dandelion is easy to make and has really nice results.

Both dandelion and lavender have calming and soothing properties, dandelionS especially have many health benefits including prevention of acne and help with cholesterol levels.

To make the dandelion oil, simply pick dandelions and put them in a jar. Cover with sunflower oil and cover with a cloth secured with a rubber band. Leave in a sunny place for a week or two, and when you want to use it, put it through a sieve.

You Need:

• 3 tablespoons dandelion

• 1 tablespoon beeswax

• Lavender essential oil

Step 1

Measure ingredients and combine in a measuring cup. I used about 4-5 drops of essential oil so it wasn’t to overpowering.

Step 2

Microwave at intervals of 30 seconds until the beeswax is completely melted and pour into a little lip balm container.

Step 3

Put in the fridge for 10-20 minutes until it has turned an opaque yellow colour, and it will be ready to use!
