With these record breaking cold temperatures here in New England, we hope you all are exfoliating and moisturizing DAILY!
The cold and wind can do a number on our hands and faces, especially, since these are the parts that are most often exposed. Apply chapstick and hand and face lotion regularly … you can even use the old-fashioned vaseline application to your hands, tip of your nose, cheeks, lips, chin and forehead to prevent wind burn if you’re especially sensative.
In the meantime, we’ve discovered a great DIY lip exfoliant using products you already have at home:
What you’ll need:
Small container
1 part honey
1 part olive oil
1 part brown sugar
You can make as little or as much as you please. Mix these ingredients together, forming a gritty mixture. Apply liberally to mouth and lip area, rubbing gently in circles to rejuvenate the surface. Wipe away with a moist cloth and apply chapstick or vaseline afterwards to lock in moisture.
You may use this recipe for your body as well. It is a simple and affordable, all natural way to keep your skin healthy and radiant.
