During winters when the cold, dry weather hits, our lips are completely exposed and easily get chapped and rough. Chapped lips can be very annoying and they can ruin a beautifully made up face. No lipstick can save you at that point! The best thing to do is exfoliate your chapped, dry lips with a good quality lip scrub to soothe and protect your pretty pout.
Sloughing dry, dead skin from your lips makes them look instantly plumper and pinker. In this article, you will find diy coffee and sugar lip scrub and Java lip exfoliator recipes, each made with just a few simple natural ingredients, which you probably already have in your kitchen!
Ground coffee ground works as an excellent exfoliant, so can be a great natural ingredient for a homemade lip scrub. Its texture is somewhat softer than sugar, so it’s gentle on the soft skin of your lips. Also its scent is downright invigorating, and the lip scrub out-and-out delicious!
