Now, it won't quite match what you'd expect to buy from a beauty brand, but it is really good for lips, and it's great value, too.

And it's important to look after your lips because they get very dry, and they're subject to so much, like the wind. So using a lip balm will keep them in good condition. It's a basic recipe made from easy to find organic and vegan ingredients which you can get from most health stores.

And all you need is one teaspoon of carnauba wax, and the wax gives it the consistency that's needed, so it also retains moisture; two teaspoons of coconut oil, which is really fatty and really luscious for lips; one teaspoon of jojoba oil, a lovely antioxidant with good moisturizing properties; and one drop of vanilla essential oil. Now, all you do is prepare a double boiler and put the wax and oils into it, and leave it to melt. And once everything's melted, you can remove it from the heat.

And it will have all blended together. And then simply mix it together thoroughly, and continue mixing until it starts to thicken and get to room temperature, and then add in one drop of vanilla essential oil. It just gives it a nice smell, and it's a comforting essential oil.

And then mix thoroughly, and there you have your lip balm. So once all of the ingredients are in, and it's thick, and it's at room temperature, all you need to do is put it into a jar, and it's ready to use. .
