Do you remember a winter being colder than this? I live in Louisiana and I can’t remember it ever being so COLD. I just traveled to Colorado last week and it was WARMER in Colorado than it was here in Louisiana. Go figure! With all of this cold weather my whole body has been dry and cracked, especially my lips. I’m not sure if it was the Colorado dry climate, the flying, or just the cold, dry weather in general that has me chapped, but this Lemon Honey Sugar Lip Scrub was exactly what the doctor ordered. I just love a good sugar scrub recipe.
My lips are so super soft now. I just followed up my lip scrub with my easy to make moisturizing lip balm. My lips feel so clean and refreshed, and I think I look much better without the rough chapped lip look going on!
