Obviously some people do have soft pink lips naturally and some don’t.

Steps to make natural lips balm for pink lips at home

The steps below will guild you through on how to make pink lips balm with natural ingredients.

1. Get two medium-sized beetroots and rinse them with water. You can add salt to clearly rinse them if they seem roughly stained. The beetroots can be bought from a vegetable shop.

2. Completely peel off the pericarp of the rinsed beetroots and cut it into smaller pieces. You can as well grate it into smaller strands and then blend the whole pieces of the beetroots into a smooth paste. This can be blended without actually adding water, but to make it easier to blend, you can add a few drops of water; just few drops. After peeling the beetroots, they should look like the image bellow.

3. The juice has to be squeezed out, because that’s exactly what we need from the beetroots’ paste and a good strainer can help in doing that. Make sure to squeeze out all the water from the paste until you are left with only the fiber. You can squeeze out the juice by pressing the paste against the strainer with a spoon or your fingers, just do as it convenience – your choice. The fibers can be disposed or used for other cosmetic purposes – like turning it into a powder and then use for face mask.

4. Again, you have to restrain the juice. But this time, with a strainer of tinier holes just like that of cheesecloth in order to make sure the juice has no residual of the fiber.

5. it’s time to boil the strained juice. Pour the juice into a pan and place it on fire to boil it. Stir regularly while boiling to prevent the juice from drying out too quickly. Within 5 to 10 minutes, you should notice the water reducing and the juice thickening as it boils; keep heating until the juice reduces to 1 or 2 tablespoon and obviously thickens.

6. Stop heating and pour the thicken juice into a small container to cool.

7. Into the paste, add a tablespoon of coconut oil, as I have said earlier, petroleum jelly can be used in place and mix afterward to have a paste of beet juice and coconut oil. Make sure the content is thoroughly mixed together.

8. The paste can now be poured into a small lip balm container and allow to chill. You can as well put the container in the fridge for about 30 minutes to cool. Once chilled, it will become smooth and thick like the regular lip balm and should look like the one in this image.

9. With the simple steps above, you have just made your homemade lip balm for natural pink lips and it’s ready to be used. Remember, regular application of this on your lips will yield maximum result in short time.

The lips balm can last for approximately 3 months without preservatives.. If you have any question, comment or suggestion about the article, please don’t hesitate to voice out through the comment section. Share to your friends and social medial, because that pink lips look good on everyone.. smile
