This might be a nice present for friends, as the amount you make would take ages to use, or you could halve the quantities. Be careful with hot beeswax.

You will need:

• 225ml (8 fluid oz) sweet almond oil
• 110g (4oz) beeswax
• 2 tablespoons honey

Method:

Place the almond oil and beeswax in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for about one minute, until the mixture melts. Whisk the honey into the wax.

When cool, pour into small containers with lids. Apply to lips as a moisturiser or on top of lipstick for extra shine.
