No matter what time of year it is my lips are always dry and chapped.
I'm not sure why because I'm constantly using lip balm blah blah blah!
Anyway, about two weeks ago I tried making a homemade lip scrub
(mainly because I will NOT pay £10 for one!) and was really impressed with the results!
There's no science to this recipe and I already had all of the ingredients lying around my house!
WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
2 tbs. Brown Sugar
2-3 tbs. Coconut Oil
(You can find coconut oil at any drugstore/health food store.)
1 tbs. Honey
Simple, eh?
1. Add your honey to the coconut oil
If your coconut oil is too hard to stir, try heating it up in the microwave or setting it
on top of a bowl of hot water for a few minutes.
It should be soft enough for you to stir with no issues!
I think you could probably use olive oil instead of honey but I haven't tried that method yet!
Here's what it should look like once you've stirred it all together.
2. Add your brown sugar to the mixture and stir it up!
Almost looks good enough to eat!
It smells SO good!
3. Put it in a jar & you're ready to go!
I had this jar in my cupboard (it used to have chili peppers in it) but after a good
cleaning it was the perfect thing for this project!
As you can see, I leave this lip scrub by my bathroom sink and use it every night before bed!
The first time I made this I didn't think the brown sugar would be "scrubby" enough on my lips.
After testing it out I was shocked at how well it worked!
I found it really moisturising afterwards but still added a bit of my Nuxe Reve de Miel before bed.
Do you think you'll give it a go?
I didn't decorate mine but if you were giving it as a gift you could dazzle it with some ribbon etc.
Any other chapped lip remedies I should know about!?
