Homemade lip scrub, two rare types

In dry seasons, lips are most likely to become dry and flaky. Some people may even experience allergies after using lip balm. So why not make your own lip scrub? The two types introduced here are absolutely amazing, so you might as well try them.

DIY Lip Scrub

tip1

Clean your lips with a mild cleanser. It is best to use a lip cleanser such as Bliss Fabulips Lip Cleansing Foam.

tip2

Make your own lip scrub. Indie Lee, founder of the eponymous beauty brand Indie Lee, shares her secret recipe. One spoonful of raw cane sugar, one spoonful of honey, one drop of peppermint oil (crushed peppermint candies are also fine). If your lips are already chapped, reduce the amount of peppermint oil or don’t use it at all to avoid stinging your lips. Mix all ingredients and rub gently to smooth lips.

Tip3

The back of some toothbrushes is not completely smooth, which is suitable for massaging lips. Colgate 360-degree toothbrush is a good choice.

Tip4

Take the right approach to moisturizing your lips. Many lip moisturizers use oils and beeswax as ingredients, but these ingredients don't moisturize your lips deeply. Honey, olive oil and coconut oil are the best choices, or try the nourishing Skin Deep lip kit.

tip5

Starting from the first step, lip balm is a long-term "project" and regular moisturizing is the hard truth. Try not to bite your lips or use lip gloss or lipstick that is drying.

DIY Lip Scrub II

Step 1

Add 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of natural honey to a small sterile cup and heat the honey in a microwave for about 4 to 5 seconds. The healing and moisturizing properties in honey keep lips soft and hydrated.

Step 2

Add 1 teaspoon of oil. Choose any healthy, edible oil, such as olive oil, sweet almond oil, or sunflower oil. According to Green Herbal Medicine, these oils form a thin, protective barrier film on the lips.

Step 3

Add 2 teaspoons of granulated white sugar, which creates a gentle, abrasive scrub to remove dead skin. You can add a drop of lemon juice.

Step 4

Add 1-2 drops of essential oil. Try using peppermint essential oil to create a calming, healing lip balm, or add orange or lemon essential oils to your own scrub.

Step 5

Wash your hands, dip your fingers into the scrub and apply it on your lips, then gently roll your fingers on your lips and wipe and clean your lips with a wet cotton ball. Finally, apply moisturizer or ointment to your lips as recommended by your treatment.
