Tip description / details:
I mix olive oil and sugar for a wonderful lip exfoliant. I use it morning and night. The sugar sloughs the dry stuff, and the oil makes lips soft. I keep a supply in a small airtight container. This can also be used as a full-body exfoliant. It's best to use the cheaper olive oils for larger quantities.

Ingredients:
Sugar and olive oil

How to prepare:
Mix until it has a paste-like consistency . Store in an airtight container

How to use:
Put on lips and scrub vigorously. I hold my head over the sink because the sugar flakes off as I scrub. I sometimes use the side of my thumb for better scrubbing.

Results (observed by submitter):
softer lips, less flaking. I used to use a toothbrush to scrub my lips, but this is much more effective. Added bonus: all natural, no harm to the earth.

Costs involved:
regular kitchen ingredients
