Easy Homemade Lip Scrubs
Exfoliating your lips may be something you haven't heard of yet, and you are not alone! Exfoliating our lips gently removes dry flaky skin (dead skin cells) and in turn reveals new, smoother skin. Lip scrubs are oh so easy to make and you will find the ingredients in your pantry at home. You will need two ingredients for a basic scrub - an exfoliant and a nourishing agent. So, for example sugar + coconut oil. Here is a list of bases (nourishing agents) and exfoliants to try. As we are not using a preservative, just make enough for a single use scrub. Around a teaspoon of scrub is plenty for a one-time use.
