The purpose of using a lip scrub or any other exfoliating agent is to remove dead skin cells that tend to dull the skin. When the skin on the lips gets excessively dry, the dead skin cells can begin to flake off, which results in peeling or chapped lips. At this point, lip balm will not help to remedy the problem unless the dead skin cells are removed first. A gentle, natural lip scrub can get the job done quickly!
You Will Need:
1 oz Olive Squalane
1 oz Olive Butter
5 oz Sugar (Organic) - Food Grade, Fine Grain
3 ml Flavor Fragrance Oil (optional)
Phase 1: In a double boiler over low heat, melt butters until liquid. Remove from heat source.
Phase 2: Add liquid oils and olive squalane and stir until thoroughly combined.
Phase 3: Add liquified butters and oils to sugar and combine. Add optional flavor fragrance and mix again to thoroughly incorporate ingredients.
Phase 4: Package in an airtight container until use.
To Use: Massage a generous amount onto lips using a firm, circular motion. Wipe away with a tissue or soft cloth. Although all of these ingredients are lip-safe, resist the urge to "lick off" the lip scrub as saliva will aggravate the "chapping" cycle, undoing the work you've just done. Follow up with a lip gloss or balm to seal in moisture and protect newly exfoliated skin.
