The winter season often comes along with dry and chapped lips. The best way to deal with those is to use natural ingredients that are easily available in your kitchen. One such homemade lip scrub is made of two very basic ingredients -honey and sugar, and is apt to get those smooth and baby-soft lips. The sugar is useful in exfoliating the flaky parts, while the honey moisturises the lips, resulting in baby-smooth lips. According to the National Institutes of Health, honey is a rich source of antioxidants, promotes burn and wound healing, which makes it an apt ingredient for lip scrub.
This is a very basic yet effective homemade lip scrub recipe. It is especially apt for days when you are short on time or only have a few basic ingredients in your kitchen.
