Winter wind is particularly hard on lips and they often get cracked and dry; here is an easy solution to help your lips stay soft all year round.

What you’ll need:

Brown sugar
Coconut oil
Honey
Spice of choice – pumpkin spice or cinnamon smell great
Small container

Method:

Put 1/2 tablespoon in a bowl.
Add 1/2 tablespoon of coconut oil.
Drizzle over some honey.
Add a pinch of chosen spice and mix.
Put your scrub into a small container and use it on your lips when needed.

How easy is that?!

I’ve made this scrub and it really soothes cracked lips and helps keeps them moist.

Do you suffer from dry lips?

This concoction is also useful to exfoliate the backs of dry hands followed by a rich moisturiser.

I’m lucky that I don’t suffer from dry lips but it sounds like a wonderful idea for those that do. All natural

OMG, I love this. How clever and simple. This is needed for everyone in our family, particularly during the winter months. We’ve all been complaining about our lips. Thanks so much.

Why is it called Lipscrub when it is really a lip balm which is a different consistency to commercially made ones.
Cinnamon sounds like a great choice. I’ve never heard of pumpkin spice.

  Pumpkin spice is similar to mixed spice (a combination of cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg).

  And when lips are really cracked and sore just pure manuka honey works a treat too !

I would have though your lips would be too sensitive to use a scrub on :/ There ya go, learn something new every day
