It's autumn at the moment in Australia which means those pesky winter winds are picking up. And for all of in the Northern hemisphere this is a handy tip because no matter how much lip balm you keep in your bag there is no escaping dry lips! So, I like to exfoliate my lips with a homemade remedy a couple of times a week to keep them in perfect condition. I's quick, easy and cheap...perfect!
All you will need is about 1/4 teaspoon of plain white sugar (make sure it is not caster sugar because that will be too fine to use as an exfoliate!) and about a teaspoon (or a squeeze and a bit-super precise!) of Papaw ointment or Vaseline.
Then place them in a small container or you could even use your hand if you are in a rush, you busy people!
Mixed the sugar and Papaw ointment together until they create a well formed ball.
You may need to add a little more sugar or ointment at this stage depending on the consistency.
Then pop a little on your finger and gently rub it onto your lips, making sure you exfoliate the inner lips. And there is not need to worry if a little bit pops into your mouth because the ingredients won't hurt you!
Then simply remove the lip exfoliate off your lips with a tissue and BAM instantly smooth lips! Placing a little bit of a lip balm (Burts Bees or Baby Lips are my favourites!) over your lips afterwards is a good idea to ensure your lips are re-moisturized.
If you have incredibly dry lips a great step after you remove the exfoliate is to place a thin layer of honey over your lips. After a few second put some more Papaw Ointment or Vaseline over the top. Leave this on your lips for about 15 minutes and then remove it with a cotton bud (or Q-Tip for my American friends) that has been dipped in hot water.
There you have it! Follow these steps are your lips will be perfect and kissable once again!
Stay Beautiful,
