Hi

Angela Here from Savvy homemade!

Hope this email finds you safe and well. We’ve been cooking up a storm in the lab the last few weeks. Not actually cooking, but formulating! If you’re unlucky like me, the weather is awful and you’re thankful to be inside anyway. But that’s only because the air this time of year is horrendous for our skin!

So before I talk about all of the lovely lip balms I've been making this week, here's a quick reminder of something special for you...

Let's Talk About Lip Balms!

Did you know that in cold and wet climates, the air actually suctions moisture from our skin? Water molecules like to follow water molecules, and the moisture in our skin is no different. This is why we get chapped lips at Christmas.

I’ve been saying to everyone recently that the lips are the new eyes. The smoky eye from the 80s has given way to the perfect lips of the 2020s! And it’s big business too. Did you know that Kylie Jenner became one of the richest members of her family by just selling her lip kits?!

So, if lips are the new black, then we gotta keep them in tip top shape, right? That’s where our brand new 100% free lip balm recipes come into play.

Waxes, along with other lovely lip balm ingredients, create a barrier between you and that cold air. It stops moisture loss in their tracks, which is why you absolutely should to be using one right now.

Ready for a new DIY lip balm formula? Learn how to make lip balm at home, it’s a magical skincare product that keeps our lips moist & flake free all year round.

See you next week!

Love,
Angela
