Feel Good Mondays: Homemade Lip Scrub

LipScrub1

The Co-op isn't usually in the business of paying lip service... unless it's literal. Whether you're kissing the love of your life or your Great Aunt Martha, it never hurts to prefect your pucker. This simple homemade lip scrub is the ticket to softer, smoother lips in no time.  This also makes a great homemade holiday gift!

To make this simple scrub you'll need: 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 teaspoon honey (we use local Woodland Honey) 2 teaspoons brown sugar

Mix all ingredients in a small glass jar with a lid. Scoop a small amount of scrub onto your fingers and exfoliate lips.  Remove scrub with a warm, damp towel.  Be prepared to pucker up.
