LIp scrubs. . . Worth it?

TREND LIP SCRUBS… Worth it?
So Lately a product that it is really popular with beauty lovers and gurus on youtube and blogs are lip scrubs. If you don’t know what I lip scrub is it is the same as a body scrub but comes in a smaller pot and is for the sole purpose of getting the flaky skin off of your lips. By using a lip scrub it prevents having peely (sorry for the spelling) lips and also helps chapped lips repair. A lot of brands have lip scrubs that are sugar based, that are made of honey, olive oil and other oils that condition your lips but has large pieces or sugar to exfoliate your lips. The lip polish on the right from Fresh is 17g or .6 oz and retails for 22 dollars while the lush bubble gum lip scrub is 9.95 (unknown amount). I have used and tried both scrubs from either friends having it and purchasing it. I can honestly say that I don’t really like this trend. Mostly because they are so expensive. If I had to repurchase one it would be the lush scrub because it is cheaper. But honestly you can DIY lip scrubs so easily and for about zero dollars. All you have to do is save one of your old toothbrushes get it a little wet put some vasiline, oilve oil, or honey on it and scrub away. This does just as good as a job and barely costs anything. I don’t see the point in buying a little jar of lip scrub when I can easily make it myself.

DIY LIP SCRUB

1. Buy a jar or save a small jar from a travel kit, or old lip balm
2. Buy some sugar that comes in a large crystalline form I suggest the brand Sugar In The Raw
3. Lay out some wax paper as a working space
4. Pour some sugar into the little jar to see how much you will need
5. Take the sugar that is in your jar and pour on to the wax paper
6. Drop a few drops of honey or olive oli into the sugar and sort of mix it into a thick paste.
7. scoop/plop the paste in to the jar, close the lid
8. take a small label sticker and with a pen write Lip scrub (optional but so cute)

what is most important with this DIY is that there is more sugar than honey or olive oil. Because, otherwise the sugar will dissolve over time into the liquid. Hope that this DIY was helpful and will save you some money.
