I don’t know about you but the winter wreaks havoc on my skin. Dries it out nothing else.
I wake up and my lips are gross and cracky and my skin is all gross and scaley. Such a pretty picture I know.
So how do I get rid of all that dead skin? A little DIY home scrubbing action.

Homemade Natural Lip Exfoliator
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp honey
2 tsps granulated sugar
Mix it all together, dip an your finger or I prefer an old toothbrush in the mixture and scrub srcub scrub those lips. Gently of course.
Dampen a washcloth with warm water and wipe lips clean. Then apply a moisturizing lip balm.

Homemade Body Scrub
1 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup organic sugar
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup coconut oil

for thanksgiving gifts to our dinner guests I made pumpkin body sugar scrubs in cute little mason jars. I love making home made- natural- scrubs. Thanks for the new recipes!
This is a great recipe for a homemade lip scrub. When you are in a bind, you can also add a little bit of sugar with your favorite organic lip balm and use it as an exfoliation.
When making a homemade body sugar scrub, I also add macadamia nut oil. It’s one of the most moisturizing oils out there.
