Winter months mean cold, chapped lips. :( Sometimes, it's not enough to simply slather on chapstick. Chapstick prevents dry lips. So, do to your lips what you would normally to do a face that has dry skin: Exfoliate!How do you exfoliate your lips? Simple. And I bet you have most of the ingredients in house!
To make the Sugar Lip Scrub, gather these things:
Sugar (granulated. Can be white or brown, but the smaller the grain, the better the sugar can get into the fine lines of your lips).
Lip Balm (I prefer Burt's Bees, not only because it's all natural and one of the best balms around, but also because they don't test on animals).
A knife
A mixing plate
Here are my lips before exfoliating. I don't normally let them get this bad, but I did to show you guys just how well this works.
To begin, take a pinch of sugar and put it on the plate. Then, take your butter knife and cut off a piece of the lip balm. It should be about half and half of both things.
Then, simply apply the mixture to your lips and scrub your mouth like you would your face.
Scrub, scrub, scrub!
Once you are done, your lips should be soft, moisturized, and dead-skin free! Here is the before and after.
Enjoy and Good Luck!
