Gem and Jo's DIY Lip Scub

Lately we have been loving the dark lip trend, anything from reds to purples, we have been loving it all. Unfortunately though our lips have not been loving this transition into the cold weather, and trust us dark lipstick on super dry and flaky lips is not a good look. That's where our  DIY lip scrub comes into play. Massage a little bit of this stuff into your lips every night and your pout will be feeling super moisturized and smooth by morning, all ready for the lip product of your choosing.  So how do you make this marvelous stuff? Well here we go:
What you'll need:

4 teaspoons of coconut oil

3 teaspoons of brown sugar

2 teaspoons of honey

A few drops of vanilla essence

A tiny weeny jar to put the finished product in. 

What to do:

Put the honey in a mixing bowl. This stuff has great healing properties and works to bind the scrub together. 

Next add the coconut oil. This will make the scrub really moisturizing.  

Add the brown sugar to the mixture and give it a good stir until it's all combined. Finally add the vanilla essence to add a bit of flavour, this stuff is gonna be on your lips so it's got to taste nice (if vanilla isn't your thing go for something else like orange or almond extract). 

Finally,  put this wondrous stuff into a cute little jar to use later. It's as simple as that! Rub the mixture into your lips for about two minutes, wipe it off and apply some lip balm and voila, beautiful soft and smooth lips! Keep this stuff handy in the fridge for the next use and pop it out for about 10  minutes before applying to warm it up.

So there you have it, our secret to super soft, lipstick ready lips!
