My. Lips. Are. So. Gross.
Not only is dry-as-fuck Reno transitioning into winter temperatures, I spent the past week mouth breathing, sick as shit, and confined to my bed. This winning combination has resulted in my lips looking like a lizard got in a losing fight with some sandpaper.
So, who wants to make-out?
Desperate for some relief from both the burning and flaking, I decided to go all Pinterest up in here and make a Coconut Honey Sugar Lip Scrub. [fancy, right? wrong. i’m just currently on a “i might be losing my job” budget so DIY is better than BUY.]
This scrub was easier to make than a plate of bacon and all of the ingredients were already in my house. I mean, I’m sure other ingredients could easily improve the quality, but these are what I have. And if I have them, chances are you have them too.
What you’ll need:
- 1 tbsp coconut oil [keto friendly]
- 1 tbsp honey [not keto friendly]
- 2 tbsp sugar [ditto above]
- small splash warm water
What you’ll do:
- Mix honey and coconut oil together. [heat if necessary- which it probably will be because it’s winter and none of this shit is liquid temperature anymore.]
- Add sugar.
- Mix with a little splash of warm water until you have a substance that looks fancy enough to call a “lip scrub”.
How to use:
- Scoop scrub onto lips and rub in a circular motion for 2 minutes. Or for however fucking long you’d like. They’re your lips. I don’t care. Rinse with warm water.
Only 30ish days left until NYE, ladies. Gotta keep those lips kissable. [j/k. aint nobody trying to kiss these lips.]
with love and butter,
