Method

  • Add your honey or agave nectar in a mixing bowl, and then mix in the olive oil or coconut oil. This combination is super moisturizing on dry lips.
  • Lightly add the brown sugar. Sugar acts as a gentle exfoliate, removing dead skin and relieving chapped lips.
  • This is where the fragrance gets yummy and almost good enough to eat. Add the vanilla extract and use a spoon to mix ingredients until combined.
  • Spoon the mixture into a small container and store in a controlled temperature.

 

How To Use

To use, simply apply a small amount to your lips and gently scrub for a few seconds (10 seconds or more) depending on lips texture, then rinse it off and repeat every 2 weeks to enjoy soft kissable lips!
