<span style="font-size: large;">Just a little care and know-how can help make your lips kissably
smooth. Start your lip care routine with an exfoliating lip scrub,
which can help by removing dead skin cells from lips. Not only does
this reveal softer-feeling skin cells, but it can also help prepare
lips for the smooth application of lip balm or lip color. <br /><br />After exfoliating apply a lip balm
that’s rich in natural waxes and essential oils that can help nourish your lips. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="color: #76a5af;"><b>Exfoliating Lip Scrub</b></span></span> <br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">1 teaspoon brown sugar</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">1 teaspoon honey</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">1 teaspoon olive oil</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">1–2 drops Lavender essential oil or another aromatic essential oil of your choice</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: large;">
Combine brown sugar, honey, olive oil, and Lavender essential oil in a
small glass container and mix until a paste is formed. To use, gently
rub onto lips in a circular motion, and then wipe or rinse off. Store
in an airtight container.</span>Created For Healinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02849251121311502487noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5444882722962757142.post-5040107881056417102015-07-10T20:07:00.002-07:002015-07-10T20:10:38.416-07:00Fruit & Veggie Wash<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

your own bath and body products is easy to do and saves money over
store bought products. The best part is you know what is going into your

skin is the largest organ in your body, treat it right with some of
these great recipes. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>
