❤ DIY Honey Sugar Lip Scrub ❤

❤ DIY HONEY SUGAR LIP SCRUB 

* DISCLAIMER: PICTURES AREN'T MINE* 


Ugh, do you hate having chapped lips? Me too, even in the summer time. And do you want to get rid of the dead skin off of your lips? You do? Well, I have the best lip scrub for you, you don't have to buy it; you CAN make it yourself with the items that you have in your home. Are you ready, well lets get started!



Ingredients

• 1 tbsp. Vaseline (a natural salve or balm can be substituted if petroleum’s not your bag)
• 1 tbsp. Honey
• 2 tbsp. Sugar (white or brown)
• Flavor (here’s where you can get creative— use maple, caramel or strawberry syrup, or you can even a drop or two of your favorite essential oil like almond oil, grape-seed oil, or coconut oil)

Directions

Combine the ingredients in the container of your choice (a small glass jar works well, or you can re-appropriate an empty moisturizer container), mixing until everything is thoroughly combined. You can add more sugar or more honey depending on how you want the consistency. Then scoop a silver dollar-sized amount onto your lips (try to resist the urge to eat it!) and slowly massage it in for 1-3 minutes. You can massage with an old toothbrush for extra exfoliation. Then rinse the mixture off your lips and smooth on your favorite lip balm. Now go kiss someone!
