The use of lip balm is often necessary due to the fact that our lips dont
produce any oil and are likely to become dry and chapped. Youll probably notice
this during the wintertime, especially if you spend time outdoors. However, many
of us have chapped lips during regardless of the season. You live or vacation in
a hot, dry climate, or a high altitude. In severe cases lips can become cracked
and bleed due to the fact that they may be using commercial lip balms or relying
on nothing at all. Licking ones lips actually makes the problem worse.The use of

due to the fact that they may be using commercial lip balms or relying on
nothing at all. Licking ones lips actually makes the problem worse. A
couple of summers ago I had unsightly chapped and dry lips for no apparent
reason. My diet hadnt changed, I wasnt under too much stress, and I was still in
the same location. For years Id been using various brands of lip balms that Id
purchased from a health food store. I dutifully read the contents and noted they
contained almond oil and other natural ingredients. On closer inspection I again
read the label. The last word gave me the clue I needed: active sunscreen -
PABA. The other brand contained all natural ingredients including lanolin, which
is derived from sheeps wool, but is a known sensitizer. One or both of these
ingredients was responsible for irritating my lips. Instead of using lip balm I
switched to some solid cocoa butter I happened to have. Within 24 hours my lips
began to soften and turn from flaky white back to natural pink. I began
exploring ways to make my own lip balm that would of course contain skin-loving
cocoa butter. Cocoa butter was nice to use, but after a while I wanted to go
back to using a stick or small pot of lip balm that I could carry around with
me. I read several books and researched many recipes I found on the internet.
For several months I experimented with the recipes until I was happy with the
results. So delighted that I even gave away a few small pots of shea butter lip
balm to testers, which had been sweetened with white chocolate. Only one problem
occurred after a week the lip balm turned grainy! This was disappointing to me,
but I continued to try to make grain-free lip balms. Three months later I
ordered some gently refined shea butter and after reformulating my recipe, and
carefully adding the shea butter last, the problem was solved! The culprit had
been the timing of the sheas addition to the melting process, along with shea
butter that wasnt up to my usual ultra high standards. Since early 2004 I have
successfully made numerous batches of luxurious shea butter lip balms and have
expanded my line to include 15 lip smacking flavors. Im very proud of my lippy
creations and wish to share my carefully selected ingredients.Please remember,
that unlike commercial lip balms, mine contain NO preservatives, active
sunscreens, paraffin, mineral oil, artificial coloring, saccharin, artificial
sweetener or lanolin!Meadowfoam Seed Oil ~ Moisturizing and revitalizing to dry,
cracked lips. Grown in Oregon, this wildflower provides a lovely oil that is

mattress is soon to be the newest sleep system "craze" in North America, and
it's very popular right now in Europe. All the big names such as Sealy, Serta,
Royal Pedic and Simmons all have come out with their own line of latex
mattresses. Basically, the latex mattress is a mattress made from the sap of an
actual rubber tree. There are two methods used to make them, thus producing the
Dunlop latex mattress and the Talalay latex mattress. The Dunlop method whips
the rubber in its liquid form and incorporates air into the mixture, and then it
is put into a mold. The Talalay method also whips the rubber into a mold, but in
addition, it will use core pins to cure the rubber, along with a vacuum system,
thus producing a superior quality foam mattress with a more consistent cell
structure. Of course, the more expensive of the two will be the Talalay latex,
although both offer superior comfort and durability. If you're asking yourself
why you would spend that kind of money on a mattress, there are many benifits.
Whether it be a Dunlop latex or a Talalay latex, either way, a latex mattress
outlasts conventional spring mattresses, and can last up to thirty years, and
usually have warranties ranging in and around the twenty year mark, which is
quite impressive. Other than that,, they possess great anti microbial
properties, are virtually dustmite resistant and ventilation properties, which
can do wonders for you if you suffer from asthma or any type of allergies.
Organic latex mattresses are also available to even better these advantages.
Convenience also plays an important part, and a latex mattress has no need to be
flipped, ever. With a latex mattress, you have the opportunity to experience a
superior level of comfort that just cannot be reached with a conventianal inner
spring mattress. A latex mattress comes in a variety of foam densities,
generally the higher the density of the foam, the higher the quality. The latex
foam mattress has the ability to conform to your bodies' many curves, allowing
the weight of your body to be evenly distributed, thus eliminating the existance
of pressure points while you sleep soundly. Yes, they are more expensive, but
one third of the average persons' life is spent sleeping, so it may be worth the
extra expense for those who appreciate a quality nights sleep. After all, the
bonus of a good sleep just might be that you will wake up feeling completely
refreshed and ready to take on the day. In the end, whether a Dunlop latex or a
Talalay Latex type, a latex mattress is at the very least, well worth
considering. About the Author Dean Cecere is a regular contributor of
