DIY & Fighting dry Lips

Something I very much dislike about the cold months? chapped lips. Seriously. I can bare the cold and dark days wrapped up in my scarp sipping coffee from my christmas mug. But chapped lips. Really? I have three products which I would categorize all as holy grails; without them I would still be fighting the dry desert on my lips I have to deal with during the winter.

Nuxe Rêve de Miel Lipbalm
I dedicated a post to this little gem, if you want to read all about it you can find my review and thoughts here.

The Body Shop Aloe Vera Lip Care
A cheaper alternative, recommended by the lovely Essiebutton, I bought this lipbalm that turned out to be even better than the Reve de Miel. It contains aloe and other healing ingredients for very dry lips. I like to apply this at night as it is more moisturising; and apply the Reve de Miel in the morning as it gives me a matte finish , which I personally prefer.

DIY lip scrub
Definitely the cheapest of all. I browsed the internet for DIY lipscrubs for inspiration and then decided to make my own.

THE INGREDIENTS

white sugar

lemon

honey

rosehip oil (olive oil can be a great subsitute)

There's no order in the way you mix your ingredients, so just find the right size of container, put everything in together and mix very well. You should be left with quite a thick texture that applied on the lips works as a scrub and hydrates the lips thanks to the honey and olive oil in it.
