Lip Exfoliation-DIY

We all exfoliate our face and body, But what about our lips?? We need to exfoliate our lips once in a while when they get chapped or  discolored. There are many reason for this Smoking being one, then the winters, excess of caffeine , exposure to the sun and so on.

So, this is a simple homemade exfoliator, its not harsh. Since it contains:
1. Sugar- Its a natural abrasive and gets rid of dead cells easily
2.Honey: hydrates your lips well
3.Olive oil: moisturizes


HOW TO MAKE IT:
You will need ( even this content makes extra. use less of every ingredient.)

  • 1/2 teaspoon of sugar
  • 3/4th tsp honey
  • 1/4 tsp olive oil
  • Clean spoon or spatula
  • a small glass bowl
Mix all of this well. Its going to get all thick and sticky :P  Rub on your lips with circular movement for a minute or two and wipe off with a cloth soaked in water or with your palm filled with water.


Happy Scrubbing :P
