Softening Lip Scrub
“A lip scrub is a really nice way of removing dead skin from chapped lips and keeping the skin hydrated and plumped.”
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon coconut butter
- Mix the brown sugar and coconut butter in a bowl to form a paste (if your coconut oil has hardened, you can heat it slightly first).
- Apply a thick layer to your lips and very gently scrub your lips with your fingers taking care not to rub too hard. Leave it sit on your lips for a few minutes.
- Gently wash off using a face cloth and warm water.
- Apply your favorite lip balm straight afterwards to replenish your lips. After doing this you will notice your lipstick goes on smoother and lasts longer!
