Dry, chapped lips can be both painful and unsightly. The advice is to never let it get to a state like that and hence keep the lips hydrated, at all times, with the help of a lip balm.

There is a huge variety of lip balms available today, from normal moisturising ones to tinted ones. Even the ones that change colour according to the temperature of your body .

If not a lip balm, the petroleum jelly provides amazing levels of hydration too. Dry lips can be caused by a number of reasons like climatic conditions, not enough hydration, smoking and sometimes even a careless skin care regimen.

Method To Prepare The Lip Scrub:

Mix all the ingredients together in a tiny container. The powdered sugar would scrub off all the dead skin cells, while the olive oil and petroleum jelly together would keep the lips soft and moisturised.

Cinnamon is an inexpensive way to getting plumper, pinker lips without going under the knife. Put the mixture on your lips with the help of your clean fingers or a bristle brush.

Gently exfoliate while the scrub sits. Let the scrub sit on your lips for about 5-7 minutes. You would feel a mild, tingling sensation on your lips during this time.

Cinnamon tends to irritate the lips, causing them to redden and swell up. An added benefit of this scrub is that it tastes yummy! But, I don't suggest eating it, not on purpose at least.
