DIY Lipscrub

Make your own DIY lip scrub

You will need:

• Sugar
• Vaseline (plain pertroleum)
• Clarins Body tonic
• Mixing cup
• Tea spoon
• Container

1. Add 3 tea spoons of sugar to your mixing cup. I used an old plastic shot glass.
2. Add 3 tea spoons of Vaseline.
3. Heat the Vaseline with a hair dryer and mix the two together with the end of your spoon.
4. Add two drops of the Clarins body tonic and mix well.
5. Transfer to your container.

I used the Clarins Body Tonic because it can be used to reduce scaring whilst being moisturising. I have some scars on my lips from where I bite them so this added product works well. You can use almost any oil that is safe for use on skin.

The container I used was a single use jam jar I got with breakfast at a cafe once, and I kept a few for precisely this purpose.

How to use

1. Apply a generous amount to your lips with a finger
2. Allow the scrub to soak into your lips for a few minutes
3. Rub gently with your finger to exfoliate
4. Rub your lips again with a damp cloth to remove any excess sugar and skin that has softened
5. Add some lip balm of your choice to finish!

This is best done at bed time, and don't apply lipstick to your lips for about half an after; give the oils a chance to do its work.

I hope you have found this helpful!
