Recipe and Instructions
.
.
Take approximately 2 tablespoons of plain table sugar in a small bowl. Add honey, one teaspoon at a time, until it reaches a nice, thick, sticky, consistency. I also add a few drops of Olive Oil, but this is optional. Take a bit of the mixture, and start gently rubbing it on your clean lips (I like to use my toothbrush to exfoliate). Rinse off and follow up with lip balm.

Ingredients
.
.
Sugar - acts as the abrasive and it dissolves so you don't need to worry about "grit" getting in your mouth.
.
.
Honey - has anti-bacterial properties, is usually non-allergenic, and tastes good.
.Olive Oil - Moisturizes, protects, soothes, is tasteless in the scrub, and is non-toxic and generally non-allergenic. It won't clog your pores around the mouth either.
.
.
Lip Balm - A good lip balm applied right after exfoliating will nourish and moisturize the newly exposed skin.
