Avocado and Vaseline
Next time you use avocado when cooking, keep a piece, mash it, and mix it with a bit of Vaseline. Apply the mix to the clean skin of your lips and leave for a few minutes. After that, wash the mask off with warm water. Avocado contains vitamin E that protects the skin and vitamin C that stimulates the production of collagen and slows down aging.
Strawberry or kiwi, vitamin E, and coffee grounds
Both strawberries and kiwi contain vitamin C which makes the skin look younger. Strawberry is famous for its anti-inflammatory features — it protects the skin from ultraviolet rays. Vitamin E makes the skin soft, and coffee grounds will act as an exfoliant. Mix all the ingredients, apply them to the lips, and wash them off after a few minutes.
Beeswax, shea butter, and coconut oil
Shea butter and coconut oil hydrate skin well, so this mask is good if you have dry lips. Take a pot, pour some water into it, and heat it up. When the water starts boiling, put a small bowl inside to melt the ingredients. Put 1 tsp of shea butter into the pot and once it melts, add 1 tsp of beeswax. After that, add the same amount of coconut oil and stir. Once you have a homogenous mix, pour it into a small container and put it into the fridge for 1 hour. Apply the mask before you go to sleep and leave it overnight.
