Exfoliating Kisser Scrub Recipe

Ingredients

ONE: First, for exfoliating kisser scrub, combine the beeswax, shea butter and liquid oils in a microwave safe container and heat until the beeswax has completely melted (doing 30 second increments in the microwave).

TWO: Once all of the oils are in liquid form, stir in your flavoring oil of choice and sweetener. Mix well.

THREE: Stir in 2.5 ounces of white sugar pour into your lip butter pots and let the mixture harden.

How to use the Kisser Scrub: Use your finger to apply a small amount of the kisser scrub to your lips and rub in a circular motion for 30 seconds (or longer if you want extra exfoliation). Then wipe the kisser scrub off with a silky smooth!

BONUS BALM: Try the Bramble Berry Lip Balm Base for a super easy balm. Just melt, add a flavor, pour into lip butter pots and let cool. Couldn’t be easier. If you have never made lip balm before, check out this premium episode of Soap Queen TV.

Make Up Tip: Soft, Supple Lips

If your living in a region where it’s still pretty cold like me, It can be hard transitioning your make-up trends from winter to spring when your lips are chapped and dry. Who wants that cute coral color on top of a flaky pout? The answer to that question is no secret. To get soft and supple lips that is color-ready, try out this lip scrub I have created below. It will rid your lips of any dead skin, as well as help hydrate them in order to preserve your colors. A bonus? All of these ingredients are edible, so it won’t harm you if you manage to get some in your mouth (This recipe is also very sweet… It’s not cheating if it’s an accident, right?).

Easy Lip Care Tips for Soft, Supple Lips

2 Tablespoons Sugar – The sugar in this recipe will be the mechanical exfoliant and abrasiveness you need in order to shed the dead skin and smooth out the surface of your lips. If you have sensitive skin, try using all natural or organic brown sugar; this way, the chemicals will not irritate your lips.

1 Teaspoon Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, or Almond Oil – All of these oils are excellent at providing the soft and supple lips with the hydration that they are lacking. Olive and almond oil are both liquid at room temperature, but in order to use coconut oil, you will need to heat it for only a few seconds in the microwave. You can also use all of these oils if you wish, but only use enough of each to add all up to one teaspoon.

1 Teaspoon Honey – Honey is an incredible hydrating ingredient, and provides this recipe with the stickiness you’ll need when you’re working with it. Trust me, it’s incredibly annoying when you are trying to apply to solution to your lips and scrub around when it’s just dropping off of your mouth!

This is the basic recipe that I have found that works best with everyone, but can be altered depending on your preferences, needs, and the things you have in your kitchen. Other things you can use include avocados, egg yolk, and much more! Be sure to freely alter this recipe’s ratio, since this is just a rough one that I use. Your mixture should turn out to be a thick paste.

I hope this recipe helps you get soft & supple lips, as well as helps you come up with a couple of ideas on you own!

Hey, Sugar Lips {Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment Review}

Winter have your lips crackin’ like the Sahara? And lipstick just highlights those cracks! Ew!

Mix these ingredients together to make a sugary paste. Use a soft bristle toothbrush or finger to dippy-dip into the scrub. Use soft circular motions across your lips. Rinse with water and apply your favorite lip balm afterwards for soft n’ silky lips. Now tell me those aren’t beggin’ to be kissed!

WHY THE CHOICE OF INGREDIENTS? {Here’s your sci lab lesson for the day…}

Coconut Oil = vit E & K, polyphenols are anti aging, & fatty acids that moisturize w/o breakouts

Raw Honey = natural antibacterial, amino acids that moisturize. Raw is better bc it hasn’t lost it’s healing properties.

Raw Sugar = produces glycolic acid/alpha hydroxy which exfoliates & stimulates collagen production – anti aging

Lemon Juice = vit C & citric acid brighten skin, scars, and exfoliates.

PSST!!! Use left overs for an entire facial scrub!

{sound the fire alarm!!!} WARNING: rub at your own risk – I don’t want to get blasted with DIY gone wrong photos bc you went scrub happy. Avoid sun exposure bc of the natural acids in the mask. Any leftovers should be stored in the fridge.

The Lip Scrub

Vaseline Petroleum Jelly : Chemist | Sugar Cubes, mint flavour and food colouring : Local grocer | Bowl, spoon : Kitchen | Jar : Old lip balm

After trial and error, I discovered that regular sugar was too chunky and castor sugar was too smooth for a lip scrub. Sugar cubes give you the best gritty texture to really get rid of all the dead skin. Use any heavy object you find to help crush the sugar cubes (I used two cubes)

Add about half a teaspoon spoon of Vaseline to the crushed sugar and mix. Add more if you feel the need. This lip scrub isn’t really about specific portions, but going along with what texture you want (how smooth / grainy) and how big your jar is.

This step is completely optional. If you don’t want the colour or the strong mint flavour, feel free to avoid it completely.

If you do, be sure to go slow. Add a drop at a time of each and sample as you go along. If you don’t have a dropper, dip a toothpick in the bottle and wait for a drop to form at the end.

Mix well with a spoon (Don’t use your fingers unless you want them to be pink for a week after. The food colouring really stains) and add to a lip balm jar.

Ta-dah!

Your new lip scrub is easy to tote around, costs close to nothing, is completely edible and barely took any time away from being fabulous!
