Yummy DIY Lip Scrub

Being in need of a lip scrub for a while now, I decided to make my own. It's cheap, affordable and works - so hey, I thought I'd share it with you.

You will need:

• A lip balm - I used the Born Lippy Lip Balm Pot in Passionberry. You can use any pot of lip balm you'd like, but I liked this one because it has a thick consistency and tastes amazing.
• Sugar (1/2 tsp)

Using the tip of the spoon, take just over a pea sized amount of lip balm from the pot.

Now you just need to mix them together. You can do this on the spoon, but I prefer to do it in my hand (it just makes it a little easier to mix and press everything together).

Next you're just going to use it as you would any other lip exfoliant. Rub it on your lips for about 30 seconds.

Once you're done, you can either wash/wipe it off or - my preferred method - lick it off :3 It tastes super good and won't do you any harm as far as I'm aware.

You can make a batch of this stuff instead of making it up everytime, but I'd recommend using half of the pot of balm first so that when you put the sugar in you can get the lid back on! I hope this worked well for you, it's saved me a lot of money on scrubs that'll only do the same thing. This pot of lip balm was £2 from The Body Shop and I've been using it since last Christmas. I've hit 'pan' I guess you could say, but I've still got a bunch of product left. Give it a shot!
