Luscious Lips

Dry, cracked, flaky or peeling! None of these words should ever be used to describe your beautiful lips! Here is the secret to prevent these woeful words........EXFOLIATE! I have 3 simple methods of exfoliation to get your lips back in to tip top shape.

YOU WILL NEED

Sugar

Olive Oil

Lemon Juice

Face Washer

Toothbrush

Small Bowl 

Teaspoon

METHOD 1 - DIY Scrub

This exfoliation method is by far my favourite. Its the least abrasive and works most effectively for my lips. Its also the most beneficial as it is made out of lemon juice which contains citric acid that naturally removes dead skin cells and also olive oil which has great nourishing and hydrating effects on the skin. The best thing is its dead easy to make and uses everyday house hold items.


In a small bowl place 1 teaspoon of sugar and add a few drops of both lemon juice and olive oil. Then combine all ingredients. If you find the mixture is to runny, simply add more sugar.


Before applying scrub to lips, wet a face washer with warm water and press onto your lips for a minute, this will just help soften the dead skin and make it easier to remove. Next apply the scrub with your fingers and move in circular motions for 30 seconds then simply wash with warm water and apply your favourite lip balm to protect and seal in moisture. (:

METHOD 2 - Toothbrush Exfoliation

This method is so simple and quick you can use it before you leave for a night out so your lipstick looks extra fab on your smoooooth lips! I suggest using a soft bristle toothbrush kept separately just for your lips. Pour a little olive oil onto the brush to help it glide smoothly over your lips and scrub in circular motions for 30 seconds. Rinse your lips with warm water and apply your favourite lip balm.

METHOD 3 - Face Washer Exfoliation

With this 3rd method, simply wet a face washer with warm water and in circular motions rub your lips to remove all the dead skin. Apply your favourite lip balm. Easy as!

With any one of the methods of exfoliation I wouldn't recommend doing this treatment more than 3 times a week, it would be to abrasive for your lips. Hope this helps <3
