1 tablespoon of fine sugar (acts as a gentle exfoliant)
1 teaspoon olive oil or coconut oil (for hydration)
A few drops of lemon juice (optional, to lighten dark lips)
Instructions:
Mix: Mix the sugar with the oil and lemon juice until you get a paste-like consistency.
Apply: Gently massage the mixture onto your lips using circular motions.
Rinse: Wash with lukewarm water.
Moisturize: Follow with your favorite lip balm.
When experimenting with home remedies, especially those with acidic ingredients like lemon, it’s essential to listen to your skin’s response and stop using it if you experience discomfort or irritation. Additionally, considering a patch test before applying new mixtures to sensitive areas is always a good practice.
