I have always suffered from chapped lips and no matter how much water I drink or how often I use lipbalm theres always some chapping even If minimal. I discovered this DIY Lip scrub on pinterest when shopping around for a solution.
1 tsp coconut oil
1 tsp honey
2 tbsp sugar (any kind)
Mix the ingredients then apply some on your lips, scrub your lips till you're satisfied then lick off the rest or wipe with a tissue. Apply lipbalm to keep lips moisturized. I use Nivea hydracare with SPF 15. Maintain a habit of drinking enough water to keep you hydrated.
As with any skin care regimen, always do a test patch first to see If your skin is allergic to any of the ingredients. Everyones skin is different so results can vary from person to person . This post is provided for information and education purposes. Please discontinue use If skin doesn not react well to the regimen.
Homemade Lip Scrub for Chapped lips
Simple Home Remedy for Acne Scars
Tumeric face mask
● 1 tsp Tumeric powder
● 1 tbsp honey
Mix well then apply to face and neck. Let sit on face for 15-30 minutes. Then with wet fingerz massage your face in circular motions for about three minutes then rinse off with cool water. As Tumeric stains, you may be left with yellow stains on your face especially in the creases and hairline, you can use a scarf around your hairline to protect it. As for the rest of the face, you can use your cleanser and a soft microfiber cloth to wash the remaining color off. If this still doesn't help use a toner with some cotton balls to wipe it off or half of a lemon, apply on your face in circular motions then rinse off. Please note that you MAY still be left with staining but it will not be as noticeable.
Next tone your face, I use a DIY toner as well. Three parts Apple Cider Vinegar and one parts water. To start with you can start with 1 part ACV and 1 part water and reduce the amount of water as you get used to it sincr ACV doesn sting. Avoid the area around the eyes due to irritation.
Then moisturize. I use Aloe Vera Gel
