Sugar Lip Scrub

What you will need: Olive Oil, Sugar, Honey, Vanilla extract, Strawberry flavouring,

The ingredients have been used because, olive oil and honey are both known for their moisturizing properties. Olive oil also acts as a good base for the other ingredients. Honey contains what is known as (mild) alpha hydroxy acids which makes this a good ingredient  for exfoliating and skin rejuvenation and it is the  amino acids in honey which makes it a good option for  moisturizing.Sugar is a good exfoliant and vanilla extract and strawberry flavouring were added just to give the scrub a nicer scent. Using the last two ingredients are completely optional.

• 1 teaspoon of olive oil
• 1 teaspoon of honey
• 2 teaspoons of sugar (brown or white, it is up to you)
• this is the optional part, either 1/2 a teaspoon of vanilla extract or 1/2 teaspoon of strawberry flavour ( or any other flavour you like)
• Mix the ingredients together
• Store in container and refrigerate (it is just more settled and cooler if placed in the fridge)

Once you have made the scrub, use either your finger or a toothbrush to apply the scrub and start exfoliating.

If you find that your skin is slightly reddish/pink after using the scrub, go ahead and apply some rose water on and around your lips.
