Lush's Lip Scrubs, although work perfect, are rather expensive, and it upsets me that people are missing out on this marvellous invention! So, being as
bored helpful as I am, I spent an hour last night making a recipe for you to make your very own Lip Scrub, at home, with things you probably already have!

Lip Scrub, as well as offering exfoliation to soften your lips, also works as a lip balm to keep them feeling smooth - fighting away crackled lips brought on by winter, the cold weather and uhm, too much kissing!!

Ingredients:

• sugar
• honey
• olive oil
• salt
• vaseline
• food colouring (optional)
• flavoured essence (optional)
• small container

Step-By-Step Guide:

1. Mix together 1 tablespoon of honey with 2 tablespoons of sugar.
2. Add a teaspoon of olive oil and mix throughly.
3. Add the salt and mix again! A paste should have formed.
4. Add a teaspoon of vaseline and mix (wrist hurting yet;])
5. Now for the fun part! Add food colouring and flavoured essence of your choice. I chose pink but sadly it came out orange. I added lemon essence for an extra kick of flavour - but please be warned you will be able to take the honey so chose wisely.
6. Spoon into your container - I found that using an old cleaned-out Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse foundation container works well and is the perfect size. I wouldn't recommend keeping the scrub long as of the natural ingredients that may go off.

How To Use: 

• Take a teeny amount and rub onto your lips, and then lick it off! It tastes better than you think trust me!

Fancy a Change?

To make the scrub more unique, why not try a different food colouring? Or add popping candy for more scrub, and a better, fun flavour! Remove the honey, and just use food essence and a bit more olive oil.
