How To Make Lip Balm With Rose Petals
Let’s make the best use of prettiest flower. Now we are going to separate petals. I don’t like to throw flowers, as soon as, I see these are getting dry, I make something out of it. Remove the color less and dry leaves as those don’t add up anything in this process. So, I am gonna make everyone’s favourite natural lip balm, and I am damn sure you will love it.
Use only fresh rose petals. Now I am going to wash the leaves to avoid any dust particles. Take a cotton cloth or kitchen towel, dry all the leaves. Make sure you wipe it carefully. It shouldn’t contain any moisture. Fresh, clean and dry rose leaves, now we start our process.
Take a mortar and crush the leaves. Do nor add al leaves together, add them gradually. This process hurts me, it’s difficult to see the leaves crushing down, But I am excited for the end process. Bright pink leaves are the best to use for this, they give very decent color. you can use dark red leaves too, but do not use white, yellow leaves.
All leaves are crushed nicely, now add 1 tsp coconut oil. Coconut oil is very good for lips. They make them soft and brighter. Mix leaves with oil, crush leaves with oil, so that color mix with oil. Now take out the paste in a bowl. Add 2 tsp of coconut oil again. Mix them well.
Now we are going to cook it for 10 minutes with double boiler method. Add water in a pan and put the bowl in it. Stir occasionally, This process makes the leaves give away its color, it will combine with oil 10 minutes is sufficient time for this. Strain the oil, press and release the oil from the petals. You have to give some push too.
The remaining petals can be used as scrub before bath. It looks dry. Now, I should stop here. This is not the balm yet, next step is really important. This balm is ready now place it on an empty box.
