Diy Lip Scrub

It's cold outside. We all know that cold weather brings dry skin, dry hair, and chapped lips. This winter, I feel like I have had a constant battle going on with my lips. I just can't keep the dry weather from getting to me! Thankfully, I have a super simple lip scrub recipe that helps out tremendously with this problem. It's shokingly simple!

What you need:
-Teaspoon if coconut oil
-Tablespoon of honey
-Heaping tablespoon of brown sugar

*Extra Idea:
Double or triple the recipe and store in a small mason jar so you have "leftovers." Can also be a good, inexpensive Christmas gift!

What you'll do:
Well, like I said, it's crazy easy. Mix all the stuff together and scrub your lips with it. Make sure you rinse your lips off really well so there is no more chunks of sugar left! Just like the rest of your body, after you exfoliate, you moisturize. I can't stress how important a good moisturizer is! For the winter weather, I'd suggest something thick, such as carmex that is specialized for cold sores and chapped lips. Hope this quick tip helped you out!

Best DIY Face Mask For All Skin Types

I tried out a new facemask, and I'm in love. It was also incredibly easy, and everything you need is (most likely) laying around your house!

You need:
-2Tablespoons of honey
-Teaspoon of cinnamon
-Teaspoon of nutmeg
-small bowl for mixing

-Basically, you just mix the stuff together and slap a thick coat on your face.

*TIP:Before using any mask on your skin, test it out on just a small portion to make sure you aren't allergic.*

-you want to leave this on for about 30 mins, then you can scrub it off, and voila-flawless skin! Cinnamon and nutmeg both exfoliate and draw out any impurities from the skin. (They also reduce redness or scarring!) Honey is a good, non-oily moisturizer, which makes this mask good for any type of skin. This is just super quick and easy-not to mention, wondurful smelling-and I hope y'all like it! Thanks for reading!

Scabs, Scars, and Acne Bringing You Down?

I got a mosquito bite on my face, and the next night  I scratched it in my sleep or something, because I woke up with a big scab(right in between my eyebrows!), and I thought I'd share with you how to get rid of similar things!

Here's a trick that I absolutely LOVE. It's super cost friendly, and it's quick and easy to do!

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
-Peroxide
-Aloe Vera(pref. Ocean Potion Burn Relief Ice with Licodain Tea Tree Oil)
-Bandaid
-Qtip

First off, I like to clean the area with peroxide. It helps prevent infection.

Next, I apply a large dollop of the Aloe Vera with a q-tip. The reason I suggest the Ocean Potion is because it has tea tree oil. Basically this helps to keep any scabbing from being flaky, and it helps to rid any blemish and reduces the redness. If you put it on over night, it will do WONDERS to the mark. It may sting a little, and that's perfectly okay!

You want to cover it with a bandaid so the Aloe Vera stays on, it will help retain the moisture.

The aloe vera gel will also help you to get rid of any exsisting scar quickly! (Again, I think the Ocean Potion Instant Burn Relief Ice is the best!) I put it on one time and noticed a dramatic difference!

I know everyone's skin is different, and this may not work for everyone, but I thought I'd share what really helped me!
