Hi, my name is Susan and I'm a makeup artist. Today, I'm going to show you my favorite DIY lip exfoliator. Now there are a couple of things you'll need to be able to make this lip exfoliator. You'll need sugar, honey, a little bit of water and a washcloth. Now what you're going to do is combine your sugar and your honey and make a nice little paste. Now sugar is great because it's a wonderful natural exfoliant and the honey helps draw moisture into your lips. Now after you've got it nice and mixed up to your consistency of choice, you apply it directly to your lips in a scrubbing motion. And be careful not to use too much because you don't want to irritate your lips especially if you tend to have chapped lips. And there you go, next step is just to wash it all off using your washcloth, gently scrub your lip exfoliator off. And it's important to get all those little crevices in your lips especially the corners which tend to get a little dry and gloopy. And there you have it, your lips are nice and smooth and soft. Now again, I think the most important tool of this is definitely the honey because it draws in that moisture after you've scrubbed with the sugar. Enjoy your soft kissable lips and I'll see you all soon.
