Make your own Lip balm with hemp oil and honey

Lips are the most delicate part of the body, as they are protected with a very thin layer and are often exposed to numerous damaging elements like pollution and UV rays and, therefore, they can get dry and chapped easily. This dryness can occur in cold as well as warm weather. Even the UV rays from the sun can harm lips in a short span of time. Hence, lip balms are extremely important in order to take care of them. But, with this, you might also have heard that these balms often do not solve the problem, and it requires a very frequent application to keep the lips moisturized. What if you can make a lip balm at home that can solve the problem of cracked, dry or chapped lips and all other problems? Here the question arises, how to make homemade lip balm? And, what are the ingredients that are required? To satiate your curiosities, just have a look at the below-mentioned recipe.
