Through out the last few months my lips have taken a battering with al the elements. The freezing temperatures of winter then sudden warmth of central heating really drys my lips right out!!!
Here are 3 tried and tested home made lip scrubs to try out :-
Honey lip scrub:
Ingredients you will need :
- 1 teaspoon of honey
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- a few drops of olive oil
Step 1- Mix together the honey and the baking soda till you create a smooth paste. You can use a container but a quick tip is to just use the palm of your hand.
Step 2- Apply the mixture with your finger to your lips but most importantly leave it to sit for a few minutes! Then with your finger or just by rubbing your lips together, remove any dead skin on the surface.
Step 3- Using warm water gently rinse the scrub off.
Step 4- Apply a small amount of olive oil while they r still wet, then blot dry with a cloth or tissue.
Sugar Lip Scrub:
Step 1- Place a teaspoon of raw coarse sugar on to your the palm of your hand.
Step 2- Using your finger add a few drops of water to form a paste. Then lightly rub in to your lips.
Step 3- Wash away with warm water. Then apple olive oil or my favourite vaseline to keep them moisturised after.
Salt & Sugar Lip Scrub:
Ingredients you will need:
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of white sugar
1 teaspoon of vaseline or shea butter
Step1- Mix all the above ingredients into a container or just the palm of you hand.
Step 2- Put the mixture on your lips and let it soak in for a few minutes. Then rub your lips together or use your finger to exfoliate them.
Step 3- Wash your lips with warm water. Then apply more vaseline or shea butter for extra moisture and protection. Your lips will be beautifully soft and smooth :)
*Use this scrub 2 or 3 times a week if your lips are especially dry and flaky!
