The fickle weather in Ohio can do a number on your skin and your lips. With warm weather one day, and frigid the next, I managed to picked up a cold…and some dry chapped lips! Lucky for me, last fall my cousin showed me a quick and easy way to cure chapped lips with a simple DIY lip scrub made with items in my pantry!
DIY Lip Exfoliator:
Small Container
1 Tablespoon Sugar (White Granulated Sugar)
1 Teaspoon Olive Oil
*Small Drop of Vanilla Extract (optional)
Mix all of the ingredients together. Using your finger, take a small amount of the exfoliator and gently scrub your lips in a circular motion. Rinse and apply ChapStick, Vaseline or your favorite lip balm. Your lips will be soft and kissable in no time!
Store in an air tight glass or plastic container. It does not need to be refrigerated. Replace after 2 months. Click here for great tips on how to store homemade sugar scrubs.
*If you have super chapped, cracked lips, you may want to skip
the vanilla, it contains alcohol. If using vanilla, just use a tiny drop.
I love this scrub! It’s a lip saver!
Thanks for the great tip, Ali!
Thank you for stopping by!
Cheers!

Now this is some news I can use girl! Is there any reason I couldn't use a drop of any kind of extract or flavoring?? (Sam likes raspberry ;))

Me too! ^^^ Must be the weather changing from warm to cool and back that makes my lips and skin get so parched. Thanks Mary!
