In autumn, regular lip balms do not cope with dryness and flaking. But the news agency EAOMedia discovered a “super find” – a recipe for a sugar-vanilla lip scrub. It smells so delicious, as if it were a dessert from childhood, and it works better than professional care.
Recipe: Mix a spoonful of brown sugar, a little honey and a drop of vanilla extract. The result will be a thick mass and so aromatic that you will want to eat it. But you shouldn't do this.
Meanwhile, an expert from the Zen blog “Beauty Secrets” (18+) told how to prepare your lips and properly perform the scrubbing procedure.
Step-by-step diagram:
Before the procedure, be sure to prepare and steam your sponges. Take a cotton pad, soak it in hot water at a comfortable temperature and gently apply it to your lips for a couple of minutes.
Now apply the mixture on your lips. Do not rub too hard or stretch the skin to prevent wrinkles from appearing and blurring the contour.
After massaging, leave the mixture as a mask for another 5-7 minutes. During this time, the lips will absorb all the useful “stuff” from honey and sugar.
Rinse off the scrub mask with warm water, pat your lips with a napkin and apply a nourishing lip balm.
Remember: if there are wounds, cracks or herpes on your lips, it is better to postpone the procedure until complete healing. And be careful that you are not allergic to the components.
