Scrubbing Up...

Its the bank holiday weekend! YAAAAY. 


So I have run away from the big bad city to the Yorkshire countryside for a city girl this is pretty rural. 


Never fear I have packed my make up case with me and can still post some awesome reviews and how to tips. Now if you have taken the plunge and started to wear lipstick then having smooth, moist lips is important. Applying lipstick to dry, cracked and peeling lips will often make the colour patchy and also show up imperfections like peeling skin. So I am here to show you how you can get super soft lips quickly and easily. 


You will need the following:


A lip balm (not a gloss!!!) something like Vaseline will do.
A tin or container if the lip balm or Vaseline comes in those super big tubs.
Sugar (granulated is best you want something coarse, icing sugar is way to fine)
A spoon

Vaseline tin lip balm, Tea spoon, Jar of granulated sugar

1. Open tin/container and either add the lip balm/Vaseline or open the tin/container and remove as much products from the sides and mix until it becomes soft.

2. Add a teaspoon of sugar at a time until the lip balm/Vaseline is gritty and mix well. It should look gritty but make sure that the mixture is mixed well. A general rule is a teaspoon more of sugar than lip balm/Vaseline.

3. It should look something like this....

4. Scrub your lips! Just apply to your lips and rub to exfoliate, rinse of your lips et voila! Clean, flake free lips! 


5. Apply some lipstick and your good to go!




You can also exfoliate your lips with a toothbrush but I find it can be a bit more harsher on your lips and does not work as well as the toothbrush cannot get to all the small areas of your lips.
