How to make a lipstick?

Although the assortment of cosmetics offered by the trade is now extremely extensive, women who have been burned to purchase care products that caused an allergic reaction will be interested to know how to make lipstick themselves.

How to do lipstick at home?

Homemade lipstick is easy to make. The quality of the product depends largely on the choice of solid oil, which is the base substance of lipstick. The most popular in cosmetology are cocoa butter, shea, mango and coconut oil. Each of the substances has a number of useful properties.

Cacao butter

Cocoa butter is saturated with oleic fatty acids, so it retains moisture, perfectly regenerates skin epidermis and smoothes skin defects. In addition, an additional bonus - a pleasant smell of chocolate.

Shea Butter

The substance has a pronounced nutty aroma and perfectly smoothes the skin, slowing down the aging process. Shea butter is best used for dry, sensitive skin.

Mango Oil

Mango oil moisturizes the skin, ensuring good absorption of nutrients. Has a subtle smell of ripe mango.

The recipe for hygienic lipstick

To prepare a lipstick you will need:

• 70 ml of rapeseed oil (one third of the glass);
• grated beeswax.

Preparation:

1. After thoroughly mixing the ingredients, we put them into a ceramic cup.
2. The mixture is placed in a microwave and heated for about 1 minute (until the wax dissolves).
3. The composition is poured into an empty case from the used lipstick.

This recipe is basic. Wax, which forms the basis of cosmetic products, removes inflammation, promotes the healing of microcracks. Adding the contents of two capsules of the drug Aevit, we will enrich the lipstick with vitamins A and E useful for the skin. Two - three drops of essential oil will not only make the product fragrant, but also add beneficial properties.

For example:

1. The oils of calendula, orange, lemon, chamomile, fir, tea tree will give lipstick antiseptic qualities.
2. Jojoba oil - promotes retention of moisture in the epidermis.
3. Oils of black pepper, cinnamon, mint, cloves - cause a rush of blood, providing a tonic effect on the skin.

Adding natural dyes (extracts of dry raspberries, cowberries and grapes) will make it possible to use lipstick made with your own hands as an ornamental cosmetic.

Important! Shelf life of natural cosmetics does not exceed two months.
