DIY Lip Scrub

Summer has a tendency of making my lips get super chapped. I put on lip balm every night before I go to bed but I wanted something that was going to give me some extra moisture before I apply the lip balm. So I decided to look up what could give me that extra step to soft lips. The answer was lip scrubs so I decided to head to YouTube to see what people recommended. As I watched the videos the one product everyone was raving about was Lush lip scrubs. They described them as decadent and luxurious. I have never been to Lush personally but I have browsed their online store. While the products seem great I honestly cant see myself spending that amount of money for so little product. They offer the lip scrub for $8.95 plus shipping. This alternative will allow you to make way more than what they have. I found this recipe online and decided to give it a go. The scrub is easy to make and very affordable. I had most of this stuff lying around the house. The only thing I need to go out and buy was the container and I got that at the dollar store. Here are things you will need:

Container with Lid to hold product

Petroleum Jelly (Vaseline)

Sugar

Lip Gloss/Chapstick

INSTRUCTIONS: The first thing your gonna want to do is grab your container and add the petroleum jelly. The amount of how much you put in is up to you. I like to fill mine up halfway so that that way I use it up quicker and experiment with a different batch. Once you have put the petroleum jelly in the container its time to add the sugar. You want to add enough so that the jelly becomes less greasy and more gritty in texture. In my small container I added about 3 packets of sugar and that gave me a consistency that I like but again you can add as much or as little sugar as you please for your liking. The next step is to add your favorite scent. You do this by adding a couple drops or a slice of your favorite lip gloss/chapstick. I had this yummy lip frosting lip gloss laying around and decided to try it out. Finally, you mix it all up and presto you have your own homemade lip scrub. Once you have tried it out and find yourself unhappy with the texture or scent just add more of the sugar or lip gloss to get it to the right consistency.
