I am taking a break from Sunday Treasures this week to share something exciting with you guys.
I've been fighting a very stubborn cold and was in bed for several days.
(Not that I'm complaining. I totally forgot how entertaining Maury is).
Anyways, when I got better, I gave myself a facial and made my own lip scrub, as my lips were in serious need of repair.
Making your own lip scrub is so easy, and I just wanted to share the recipe with you guys.
THE RECIPE
I used a VERY simple method.
I mixed some honey with sugar (white or brown could be used) and put it into a little clear jar.
If you want it a little rougher, you can add more sugar.
(Make sure to label it Lip Scrub, as you dont want hubby to think its something else.)
RECIPE #1
Basically, a good amount is:
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon white or brown sugar
RECIPE #2
In the past, I have also done a lip scrub using the following (but with a toddler around who LOVES Strawberries, finding two uneaten strawberries is a miracle):
2 full strawberries
Sugar
You mash the strawberries with the sugar and apply on your lips.
(The strawberry has acids that when mixed with sugar, exfoliates your lips.)
There are a ton of other ways that you can make lip scrubs but these are the ones I have tried personally and I find them awesome because they use ingredients that are readily available in our kitchen.
Now, you are ready for Summer with soft and shiny lips.
I tested it on hubby and my kid, both LOVED it and were sporting soft lips.
Make sure to check out our shop, as we added a ton of new beauties that are sure to match with your lovely lips.
Would you like to know how to make your own facial scrub?
I will share that with you next week.
