Hey DISHIES! Want Kissable Soft Lips All Winter Long‏??

The health and appearance of your lips is just as important as the health and appearance of your skin. Dry, flaky lips are never good. Before you buy a lip scrub at your local drug store, think of making your own preservative and chemical free version at home! It's a simple & affordable lip scrub made from ingredients right in your kitchen.

1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Granulated Table Sugar or Brown Sugar
1 small drop of Lemon or Peppermint Extract (optional)
Toothbrush (optional)
Warm Cloth or Paper Towel

Combine olive oil, sugar and extract until they are the consistency of sand. Add small pinches of additional sugar if necessary to achieve the right consistency. Liberally apply the scrub with a cotton swab. Use your fingers or a soft toothbrush to gently massage and remove dry skin. You may also rub your lips together. Let scrub stand for 1 minute then towel off with a warm, wet cloth or paper towel. Apply lip balm immediately.

A word of caution, never use a lip scrub on cracked, bleeding lips as this could exacerbate existing issues. EEKS!

If you happen to make a little more than you need for one application, store the remaining scrub in an air tight container in the refrigerator for no more than one week.

This lip scrub can be used by both men & women for kissable soft lips all winter long…and all year ’round.

KISSES! XO
