Your skin is an amazing organ and this natural process can be supported and hastened by using calendula. Calendula is a flower with healing properties that have been used for centuries for everything from infections to dry lips. When applied topically, it can help to soothe the skin and speed up the healing process. In a lip balm, these effects are amplified. Lip balms that contain calendula, beeswax, vitamin E, and essential oils can help to soothe and protect dry, chapped lips. They can also help to repair damage caused by cold weather, wind, or sun exposure. Bonus: Making your own lip balm is fun!
