WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
- 1/8 CUP OF HONEY (preferably raw)
- 2-3 TABLESPOONS OF SUGAR (white or brown)
- 5 DROPS OF VITAMIN E OIL
- STORAGE CONTAINER
- MIXING UTENSIL
This scrub is an easy and simple way to keep your lips lusciously smooth and non-flaky- which aids in flawless lipstick application. I typically apply this as soon as I get out of the shower- or even while I'm in it!- so the steam can open up my skin.
If you are having a hard time finding vitamin E oil, I typically find it in the all-natural section of the grocery store or I get this one from Trader Joe's off of Amazon.You can also use Coconut Oil- I prefer the Trader Joe's version of that as well :)
DISCLOSURE: The mixture recipe given makes more than the pictures show. The pictures show about 1 tablespoon of honey and 1 1/2 teaspoons of sugar.
Put your sugar in your small fancy container and add the honey.
Next, and your Coconut or Vitamin E oil.
Blend until you have a thick mixture. You are looking for a gritty, sticky consistency. Test the sugar to honey ratio by rubbing your fingers together: If it more sticky than sugary, add more sugar. If it is extremely rough and gritty, and honey in small amounts.
TO APPLY:
Wet your lips with warm water. take a small amount of scrub and massage onto your lips in a circular pattern for about 1 minute per lip. For added benefits, let the scrub sit on your lips for a few minutes- the honey and oil are great natural moisturizers. Afterwards, wipe the scrub with a warm washcloth, following with some moisturizing lip balm to keep the treatment going.
That's all there is to it! Happy DIY Friday!
