Sugar lip scrub

Hi all. Sorry I haven't been on in a while, I just got really busy. So, I am sure that we have all seen the posts on Pinterest or other places talking about a 'miracle lip scrub.' Personally, I always thought it was dumb. If your lips are chapped, just drink water and put on chap stick, right? However, this only works long-term. you cant drink water and put on chap stick and have your lips perfectly smooth in minutes. So I decided, why not? Might as well try one of these. So I found the simplest one I could, and tried it. It actually worked really well! this one doesn't require any special ingredients, unlike others that needed beeswax or coconut oil. 

What you need:

-sugar
-chapstick
-less than five minutes

What you do:

start by putting on a good coat of chapstick. make sure that you cover all the way to the edge of your lips, as this is the part that is chapped most often. Next, put a small spoonful of sugar in your hand, spreading it out so that it is in an even layer big enough to cover your lips. Then, you kiss your hand. To coat your lips with the sugar, you press your lips into the sugar, moving your hand to make sure you have a good layer on there. dump the rest of the sugar, and wait a minute or two to let the sugar really stick to the chapstick and your lips. Then, gently rub the sugar in small circles over your lips. this catches on the flakes of skin and gently pulls them off. Rinse off your lips and put on another layer of chapstick, and voila! Perfectly smooth lips in minutes!
