Has anyone made their own and are they as effective as the highly priced alternatives.

I'm thinking of the youtube video's with vaseline, lemon juice, coffee, tumeric, cucumber etc. Plus added oils like almond.

I've been making this for a couple of years and absolutely love it: www.aboutoliveoil.org/diy-olive-oil-balm. I use it on my face and body.

I also mix activated charcoal with some moisturiser for a cleansing/clearing mask.

And I make my own lipbalm with beeswax, coconut and olive oil.

Wow, it must save you a fortune. I'm glad to hear it works, I'm going to get straight on with gathering what I need now.
Ready for new stuff as was running out.
Saw the jaw dropping prices and thought there must be a cheaper way. Thanks
