Constantly going from the cold, damp outdoors into central heated rooms can cause your skin to dry out, especially your lips. One way to get rid of unwanted flaky uneven skin is by using a lip scrub.
Lip scrubs remove any dead skin and improve their appearance. There are many different recipes for lip scrubs.
Sugar scrub:
Mix a small amount of coarse organic sugar mixed with a few drops of water, gently apply to your lips and gently rub in small circles then wash off with warm water.
Salt and sugar scrub:
Mix salt, sugar and Vaseline together. Gently apply to your lips and rub in small circles to remove dead skin. Rinse with water. The Vaseline in this mixture will leave your lips feeling soft and smooth.
(My personal favourite) Honey lip scrub:
Mix a dessert spoon of honey, sugar and Vaseline together to form a paste. Apply to your lips and gently rub in small circles to remove the dead skin cells. Rinse with warm water. This makes enough for a few uses, I store mine in a small airtight container as it lasts for up to 2 months.
After exfoliating your lips apply your lipstick or lip balm – check out my homemade lip balm recipes!
You can exfoliate up to 2-3 times a week if you have dry or flaky lips.
Enjoy your soft smooth lips!
