Are You As Shocked As I Am?

In comparison to some acne sufferers, mine isn’t so bad. I’d say that mine is mild but, it does bother me immensely at times and there are moments where I’m in love with how I look (not with the acne but just overall). After I saw this video though, it just took things to a whole new level. This YouTube beauty guru, DiamondsAndHeels14, has severe acne and you’d neverΒ tell.

exfoliate lips The Mixstress Workshop | Shea Lippy Scrub

Aside from our bodies, our lips need regular scrubbing too. You don’t want to be walking around with flaky, crusty looking lips so giving them a scrub is a must as far as I’m concerned. A lot of people know this but, what annoys me is how a lot of people use sugar and olive oil as a lip scrub and boy, that’s done nothingΒ for my lips. The oil is too runny and the sugar is often in large grains therefore you don’t get a closer exfoliation in comparison to using a really fine and small exfoliant. Baking powder, bicarbonate soda or whatever you may call it is the perfect thing to use as it’ll really get to exfoliate your lips. Mixing it with Shea butter will ensure that the baking powder doesn’t slip away unlike with sugar when mixing it with olive oil. Because Shea is a butter, it’ll have a good grip of the baking soda so you’ll have smooth lips in no time!

What You Need:

A lip balm tub

Shea Butter that’s enough to fill the tub

Baking powder

What To Do:

Mix the baking powder and Shea butter until you get the consistency that you want. You can add more powder than butter if you want.
