With the sunny days here, it’s important to protect your skin from the heat, sun, salt, and chlorinated water, which can dry it out. To avoid harmful effects of some creams containing chemical or toxic substances, Lekaba.fr recommends using natural products.
One alternative to buying commercial moisturizers is to make your own balm at home. Using natural ingredients like coconut oil, beeswax, cocoa or shea butter, vegetable oil and a drop of vitamin E, you can create an environmentally friendly and good for your skin moisturizing balm. Although the initial investment in ingredients may be expensive, it will provide you with enough materials to make multiple batches of balm.
To make the balm, melt the oils together, pour them into a mold and let it solidify. Once solidified, the balm can be used on the skin to keep it moisturized. It is essential to keep the balm refrigerated during hot weather to prevent it from melting. Homemade balms are hydrating and long-lasting, offering a sustainable alternative to commercial moisturizers. By making your own balm, you can control the ingredients, avoid harmful substances and reduce packaging waste, contributing to a greener lifestyle.
