Spring is a difficult time of the year for many people. Others suffer from any kind of allergy that exists and I do have a problem with dehydration on my lips. This means that I am always with a lip balm in my hand. Lately my lips have gotten worse as due to African dust and pollen, they become dehydrated and chapped more than ever. That's why today, we will also make a peeling balm with sugar in order to have soft and hydrated lips.

diy Opora Rays lip balm

In recent years, the fragrances that dominate the autumn season, are based on spices such as cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, clove, the combination of which is reminds of sweet pumpkin pie that just came out of the oven. I generally enjoy the sweet melancholy of Autumn, however I am hesitant about using spices in cosmetics. I use them widely in cooking, but cosmetology is a completely different chapter. Of course, I could not have an opinion if I did not try to use them.

Coffee Lover’s Lip Balm

A friend of mine makes amazing extracts with every plant you can imagine. Herbs, flowers, seeds and fruits are a daily challenge to make experiments. So I asked her to make a coffee infused oil for me and she made it directly from a variety of espresso with Protected Designation of Origin in Ethiopia. Its fragrance reminds me of a pleasant walk in the traditional coffee shops of the Athenian center, an amazing aroma of freshly roasted coffee.

My friend N. asked me to make for her a chocolate lip balm and it is a very nice choice because chocolate is one of the most nutritious natural products, especially the bitter one. So I made a lip balm based on cocoa butter, famous for its moisturizing properties, which smells slightly chocolate while I added coconut oil as it fills the cracks of the lips and makes them soft and flexible.
