I love my big lips ...

but they are constantly chapped! I have a bad habit of picking them which I don't even realize I'm doing. It's also embarrassing. I notice when people are staring ... yes I get it, my lips are peeling, UGH—I need chapstick. And I would apply it over and over again for a temporary fix. 

One day at work in the winter, my lips got real bad. I searched and searched online for a temporary fix. I found a quick and easy DIY scrub with products you most likely already have. 

What you need:

Sugar, Honey & Vaseline

What you do: 

Put a dollop of honey on your index finger and dip it in sugar. On clean & make-up-free lips, scrub away! Scrub your lips in a circular motion for about 20-30 seconds. Wipe away with a wet washcloth or paper towel. Next, apply a small amount of vaseline to your lips.

And voila! I was surprisingly pleased with the results. My lips were smooth as can be. And everything was in our work kitchen (minus the vaseline, I always carry a mini one!). 

I made sure to pass along this secret to a co-worker and she was obsessed. Chapped lips no more.

xoxo Enjoy!
