Cosmetic oils are an option for those girls who absolutely don't want to waste time preparing and mixing oils. Usually such girls live in a frantic rhythm, where there is no time for good self-care. Therefore, cosmetic oils remain the only option for the care of delicate lip skin. There are many cosmetic companies in the world that create glosses and lipsticks based on essential oils and write about 100% naturalness on the packaging, but this is not the case. Although all oils are used as a component, they are added to the product in small quantities and are often diluted with other ingredients.

For the product to really help fight the problem, you need to know exactly what you want. If the problem is flaking, then you need to choose exactly the oil that will help fight flaking. If your lips are dry, you should choose coconut oil. The product should be airtight and easy to apply. If the box does not contain a special brush that needs to be applied with oil, you should not apply it with your fingers - because in this way bacteria can be introduced into the balm, which will actively multiply there. All this will lead to not very good consequences. In this case, you should choose a balm in a stick or buy another brush to apply the product.

The cosmetic product should not cause discomfort and excessive tingling. In this case, the oil is either not suitable for you, or there are some contraindications, for example, an allergy to the product. Cosmetics will be irritating if spoiled or expired. After the expiration date, the product should also not be used. This will be dangerous for your skin. It is not worth saving on the skin of the face, lips, eyes, since the consequences will be more depressing. It is easier to buy a new lipstick than to undergo treatment later.

To give your lips a natural plumpness, you just need to drip a few drops of peppermint essential oil into your balm. After application, you will feel a slight tingling sensation and a rush of blood, due to this, the lips will appear plump, larger and rounder. The rush of blood will make them look healthier and more natural.

To improve the condition of the lips, you can mix any essence and rose oil in a ratio of 5 drops of essence to 7-9 grams of base oil. This small amount will help with excess flaking. You can simply mix foods together in small quantities to create scrubs and balms that will nourish and enrich your skin.

A balm that will help heal small cracks and wounds can be prepared on your own at home. For this you need lavender and rosewood oil, sea buckthorn and almond oil. All these ingredients must be mixed together. Use 2 grams of each ingredient and add a few drops of honey.
