All Natural Lip Scrub

Here comes the cold weather! Time to keep those lips chap-free and beautiful. I've been using this two-ingredient method ever since I was in college and found an article about it in a beauty magazine.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 tsp. olive oil
  • 1/8 tsp. brown sugar
  • Directions

    Mix in a small bowl. Apply to your lips using your fingers, gently rubbing in a circular motion. Rinse off with water.

    The brown sugar will come off, leaving some of the olive oil behind, which adds moisture and a lustrous shine to your lips. Not to mention it's pretty yummy for you or your next kiss! :)

Homemade Lip Balm

Does anyone have a recipe for lip balm? I am going broke buying those little tubes of it for the grandkids who keep losing it.

I used the little containers to hold small craft supplies (Like beads). I use my finger to apply it. I warmed up a gob of Vaseline and added some cocoa powder. I didn't measure it, I just stirred it in until it looked good. It leaves just a light tint on your lips. It doesn't taste like chocolate, but the smell is divine!
