DIY: Vanilla & Honey lip scrub

Hey everyone! I'm a huge fan of lipstick, so I always do my best to keep my lips in a smooth and hydrated condition. Dry and chapped lips make lipstick look horrible after all (although it can also work vice versa, since there are also certain lip products out there that can make your lips feel dry). That's why I was really looking forward to this little DIY project: making a nice lip scrub to exfoliate the lips! There are all sorts of  'recipes' out there, but I wanted to add some vanilla extract to give the scrub a nice scent. I just looove the scent of vanilla!

What you need: 

2 tsp of (cane) sugar
1 tsp of honey
3-4 drops of olive oil
1 drop of vanilla extract
A bowl and a spoon
(Toothbrush)

Now you can mix it all together!:)

You can use your finger to apply the scrub, but I decided to use a toothbrush to help me with the scrubbing. 

I scrubbed my lips for about 2-3 minutes (with gentle, circular motions) before I washed everything off. When you are done with scrubbing it's really nice to apply some Vaseline or a lip balm  for extra moisturization. This was actually my first 'DIY lip scrub' project, but I'm definitely going to do this more often! If you know some nice lip scrub ingredients, please leave a comment below to let me know! ;)
