DIY Lip Scrub

If you're anything like me, you always have some kind of skin problem, but no cash to spend on expensive creams.  Don''t get me wrong I love my Burt's Bees and Carmex, but it can only moisturize your skin.  So how do you remove that nasty dead skin?  With your very own Lib Scrub!  The best thing is, you most likely already have these things in your home.

I would start off by scrubbing your lips with a dry tooth brush.  I did this before the scrub and it removed about half the skin.  Just move it in a circular motion for about a minute and make sure not to scrub to hard.. You don't want to make things worse by pulling the skin off.

Now for the scrub!

What you'll need:
1. A bowl to mix everything in
2. A spoon
3. Vaseline or Aquaphor
4. Sugar
5. Honey













!. Put the Aquaphor or Vaseline in the bowl.  This isn't an exact science but I used about a fourth of a table spoon .

2. Add about half a tablespoon of sugar

3.Add in a full tablespoon of honey

4. Mix until fully combined. This will make enough for two or three treatments. But you'll hopefully only need one.

Apply a liberal amount on your lips with your ring finger for about 3-4 minutes.  Once you are done wash it of with water and store the remainder of your product!  I love this scrub because its mostly natural, free ,and smells and tastes amazing!  I used it before bed and applied a very generous amount of Carmex afterwards.  My lips have haven't been this smooth in a very long time.  I used it about a week ago and have only used chap stick only 3 or 4 times since then and my lips are still in great condition.  Let me know how this works for you or if you've tried anything else that works. :)
