How to Make a Lip Scrub

A full body scrub leaves our bodies feeling rejuvenated, and a facial exfoliation removes the dead and dry skin, allowing the newer layers to skin to emerge. However, we rarely consider that our lips can benefit from a good exfoliation as well. Try an easy homemade lip scrub. It will feel great, and your lips will be healthy and kissable.
