Aside from idols' pretty and handsome faces, they also have the nicest lips that look so soft and tender.  Surely, an avid fan might want to use the same products that your favorites are using, but if you are on a tight budget, it's quite difficult. 

But if you still want to achieve soft, beautiful lips like your favorite K-pop idols, then worry no more! 

In this article, any K-pop enthusiasts can learn an easy homemade lip balm using coconut oil and beeswax for an all-day and all-night glow just like Korean stars! 

How to make homemade lip balm using coconut oil and beeswax? 

For cold and hot weather, chapped lips are common. Most of the time, you can see K-pop idols carrying lip balms with them (even male idols!) to moisturize their lips and to keep it hydrated. 

However, if you can't afford the products they are using, a homemade lip balm is for you! 

In this tutorial, prepare coconut oil and beeswax beforehand which will provide the honey-like and fresh coconut-like taste. It will also serve as the flavorings. 

Step 1: Prepare the ingredients and materials

To start, ready a lip balm container which can be tubes or pots. You will be needing measuring cups as well, a grater, beeswax, coconut oil, vitamin E oil, measuring spoon, chopstick, and microwave. 

Make sure to sterilize and clean the equipment,  and make sure to wash your hands before and after,too.

Step 2: Do the basic formula

Doing any measurement that will be favorable to you, follow the 2:1 ratio of coconut oil and beeswax, and add a few drops of vitamin E oil. This Vitamin E oil will prolong the shelf life of the balm, and it is really good for the skin as well!

For the coconut oil, measure two teaspoons and add it to the measuring cup. 

Step 3: Grate the beeswax 

Using a grater, grate the beeswax on a sheet and transfer it to a spoon until full. Make sure to get the proper amount or it will mess up the ratio and ends up making a hand cream instead. 

Step 4: Mix well and microwave

For 30 seconds, microwave the mixture, and stir it well after taking it out. Put it in the microwave again and heat it until the beeswax melts, and until the mixture finally looks clean and golden. 

Step 5: Let it cool and you are all set! 

Take the lip balm and put it in a container to let it cool down. It might take a few minutes or an hour, but make sure you can't feel any heat and the texture is already solid. If it's ready, you can now enjoy using it! 

It works great on dry and chapped lips, and it will also help your skin become moisturized during winter and summer. Just make sure not to mix any water to avoid molds and short shelf life.
