Inspired by a new year DIY challenge from a friend of mine I searched online for something to make with ingredients I already had in my home. I decided to make an Aloe Vera Lip Gloss which will give a shine to my lips and protect, moisturize and heal them all at the same time! It’s also safe for those of you with adult braces too!
ALOE VERA LIP GLOSS
Ingredients:
1/2 tsp of Coconut Oil
1 tsp of Petroleum Jelly
1 tsp of Aloe Vera Gel
Mix them all together in a small, microwave safe bowl.


Microwave for a total of 45 seconds, stirring at the midway point.
Pour into a resealable container and use once cooled completely.

The Aloe Vera gel I used was tinted so it made my lip gloss a bright green (!), but it goes on my lips clear (thank goodness!).
