If you're like me and do not want fillers injected into your face, you can try my fave temporary lip plumping option showcased in this post! Not only will your lips appear fuller, they will be soft and exfoliated too!
My lips have been extra dry and flaky over the past couple of days, despite the fact that I’ve been vigilantly applying coconut oil lip balm every day. So I finally got fed up with the state of my lips, and decided to mix up a natural remedy. This super simple sugar lip scrub can be made in minutes, using just a few simple ingredients from your pantry. Start with organic virgin coconut oil, which is a highly effective natural moisturizer (and it’s loaded with antioxidants too!) Add some raw cane or ordinary white sugar as an exfoliant, then top it all off with a tiny bit of honey, and some peppermint essential oil to make it taste good! You won't want to make a huge batch of lip scrub, because it doesn’t store well over a long period of time. The sugar will eventually dissolve and lose its exfoliating power, so this recipe makes just enough to fill a small lip balm container. Here’s how to make it!
You Will Need: 1 tsp Coconut Oil 3 to 4 drops Food Grade Peppermint Oil 2 tsp Raw Sugar 1/4 tsp Honey Small Airtight Lip Balm Container
(Dollerama or Canadian Dollarstore usually carry them!)
Directions:
Mix the sugar, coconut oil, honey, and peppermint essential oil together in a small bowl using a spoon or fork. Transfer the mixture to a small container.
Using Your Lip Scrub
Scoop out approximately 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of the scrub, and gently rub it into your lips in a circular motion. Continue for about 30 seconds, then gently wipe your lips clean, or jut lick it off! Voila! Done! Now your lips are kissably smooth and ready for your favorite lipstick!
