Yes, we all know that! Who DOESN'T hate chapped lips? They are they worst! And if they are really bad, like mine, they may even bleed. Yuck. It's not pretty and doesn't feel good either.
So! I'm going to talk a little (Ha!) about my favorite things to keep lips nice...
A new product I recently bought is the Mint Julips Lip Scrub from Lush.
(We finally have a lush in our mall! Yay!)
This scrub worked wonders...I know a lot of people say that about random things, but I'm being serious! It's all natural(which is a reason to love it on it's own) and totally edible. Which is cool because you are scrubbing this all over your lips! It's bound to get in your mouth. And it sure is yummy!
So, what you do is tap your finger on the sugar scrub and rub onto your lips- It's that easy. On the side of the cute little jar it says
"Gently rub a little peppermint and chocolate sugar onto your lips and scrub them soft and smooth"
After that I liked to use my favorite lip balm/chap-stick which is the "Burt's Bees REPLENISHING LIP BALM with POMEGRANATE OIL" It really is written out like that...
They have lots of flavors, but the pomegranate is my favorite! It's the most moisturizing, well, as the name says "REPLENISHING". Smear that sucker on if you are just going to bed. A little extra step I take when my lips are crazy dry- I like to also smear Vaseline on top of my Burt's Bees lip balm (<-- which is now on my smooth lips) That really seals everything in! When I wake up in the morning my lips still feel a little moist and they are no longer dry! It's really great! But it always takes me awhile to remember these kinds of routines- So i'm stuck for a month with terribly cracked lips that I just want to pick at (Sorry, sorry!! Too much info, Yuck!)
If you do not have a Lush near you- or do not have a lip scrub, you can always make one! It's super easy!!
Just take a little sugar and scrub it on your lips. Yeah, super easy.
And then pick your very favorite lip balm!

Happy lip lovin'!

I love that Burt's Bees chap-stick! :) Its tied for my favorite with the original peppermint. And I've heard that for homemade lip scrubs, Sugar in the Raw works really well, since its a little grain-y-er (haha) then normal sugar.
ReplyDeleteBurt's Bees makes the best things!! Natural is always so much better for your skin! Being gentle is key with skin, IMO ; )
ReplyDeleteYes, most def'! Using it on your face is also a great idea! I've done that too!!
XOXOX
Love your new blog, Mikayla! I like the Burt's Bees Pomegranate too, but a peppermint and chocolate rub sounds divine. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd be afraid I'd just eat the rub. > >

ReplyDelete@sarah I knowwwww!!! Yay!! It's so fun! Seriously, sugar on your lips is awesome and beneficial in so many ways hahaha So yummy!
ReplyDeleteOh, that's a great idea! I don't think we have any coconut oil! I need to check that out- I know a lot of people put it in their hair too.
@Paige- Hahaha, isn't it awesome!!? I liked the bubblegum because it's pink!- They also have a lip tint in bubble gum- It's a serious bubble gum pink! You'd probably love it! <3 <3
