DIY: How to make Homemade Lip Exfoliating Scrub

Published on February 19th 2015 by under DIY

To keep your lips at the pink of their health, both men and women need to take utmost care of their lips round the year, especially during the dry winter season. How to get rid of chapped lips? Simply use lip balm and/or lip scrub/exfoliator when you feel your lips are dry. Exfoliating your lips, in order to get rid of the dry, dead cells is necessary to retain the softness of your lips. However, it is best if they are made naturally at home, while you boycott the ones that are readily available in the market, oozing with strong chemicals, only to harm your lips more in the long run.

How to make

Take the honey in a bowl and heat it in your microwave for 5 seconds only and then mix it with the almond oil. Pour the sugar and mix evenly making a smooth paste. Add the essential oil. Now apply this mixture onto your lips in a circular motion, which would exfoliate your lip’s dead cells. Rinse your lips with warm water.

-Tips-

Although the essential oil is optional, but DO add it, we advise, since this has a healing property, just like almond oil has vitamin E in it.
