A Homemade Lip Scrub for Smooth Lipstick Loving Lips

Lipstick-covered lips so supple and smooth that they look as kissable and suckable as lollipops eluded me for years. Sadly, I went through most of my twenties wondering why lip balm wasn't enough. Here is what you may need to do to ensure that you have lipstick ready lips every morning... or whenever you need it.

1. Apply lip balm occasionally and especially at night. They prepare my lips for their upcoming exfoliation by softening any lurking dead skin cells.
2. Use your homemade scrub - A mixture of honey (1 tsp), brown sugar (1 tsp) and olive oil (1-2 tsps) will do. Let it sit for a while. I have put mine in a container for 20-30 seconds to melt a bit then put it in an old, clean lip pot.

How to Use the Scrub
Apply it to your lips and let it sit for a minute then gently exfoliate your lips. Wash your lips off with water then apply your lip balm of choice.
