Pucker up and treat your kisser to a taste of the tropics

No handbag is complete without a pot of lip balm – especially in the summer holidays when you’re trying to avoid a sun-parched pout. But finding the perfect balm – one that keeps your lips super-soft and supple and tastes great – can be tricky.

But don’t worry – your quest is over. This DIY tropical orange hibiscus lip balm from Woods of Bell Trees is the perfect not-too-greasy, not-too-sticky consistency – and packed with the tropical flowers and flavours of hibiscus, orange and coconut, it’s guaranteed to transport you to palm-fringed, white, sandy beaches in an instant (even when you’re stuck in the office on a grey Monday morning).
