Budget Solution: Lip Scrub.

I know in the last article I have reviewed the lip scrub. So what can you do if you don't want to spend approximately £5 on it? Well it is actually surprisingly easy to make.


You will need some sugar, the more coarse the grains of sugar are, the better. So don't use icing sugar as it will not have a big effect!

The next ingredient will be petroleum jelly. For this I recommend the ones packaged in a tube (e.g.Carmex), since they are easier to get out into a container than the ones packaged in pots.

You will need a small container to store you lip scrub! A good example will be a contact lenses case. Or if you don't intend to store it and want to use it for one use only, a small saucer will do the job nicely.

Sqeeze a pea sized amount of petroleum jelly into the container, and then add about half a tea spoon of sugar, stir well with a toothpick, or the end of a brush (make sure it's clean!). Make sure the mixture has a grainy texture, if it hasn't been achieved from the quantities given above, add more sugar till desired texture is achieved. Voila, you have your homemade lip scrub!

Stay Tuned for more!
