14 Days of Beauty: Day 7, The Lips

When you meet someone, one of the first things you notice is their face. Your lips and mouth are holders of expression and much attention is drawn to this area. Many of us, pay lots of attention to our face with our skin care regimens. We cleanse, exfoliate and moisturize; often working around the lips. Purchase an extra soft toothbrush and save it for use on the lips. Brush your lips daily. Once or twice a week, make a homemade lip mask and apply it. The result will be soft and beautiful lips....worth a kiss or two. xoxo


Lip Mask
2 tbsp turbinado sugar
1-3 tsp honey
a few drops of olive oil

Place the sugar in a small bowl and begin adding the honey by teaspoons until it reaches a nice thick consistency. Add in a few drops of olive oil. You may use your "lip brush" (see above) to gently apply or simply use your finger. After rinsing with warm water, apply a natural lip moisturizer or lip balm. This routine is best done before going to bed.
