1. Lip Scrub Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp Olive oil or coconut oil (EVOO/VCO)
- 2 tbsp Sugar (white or brown)
- Food Color (red or preferred color)
- Small container(s)
Instructions:
- Thoroughly mix olive oil and sugar in a small bowl.
- Add a touch of food color to achieve the desired shade.
- Transfer the mixture into a small, tightly capped container.
How to Use: Dab a small amount of the scrub on your lips, rinse with warm water. Use it up to three times a week for noticeably softer lips after the first application.
Why Olive Oil? Olive oil, especially Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO), serves as an excellent moisturizer. Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) is a more affordable alternative with similar skin benefits.
Why Sugar? Sugar acts as a natural skin exfoliator, promoting smooth and soft lips.

Instructions:
- Measure the ingredients, ensuring a balanced ratio for a firm yet melt-resistant balm.
- Combine all ingredients in a small pan and heat on low until melted.
- Add mica pigment for tint or leave it natural for a subtle hue.

Note: Experiment with the recipe to tailor the balm to your preferences.
