DIY Lip Mask for Extra Nourishment: Winter Glow Honey & Rose Lip Scrub 

This simple DIY lip mask can be made with ingredients you probably already have at home. It’s perfect for soothing and hydrating chapped lips, especially during winter.   

This soothing lip scrub combines the natural exfoliating properties of brown sugar with the deep hydration of honey and castor oil. The optional addition of rose petals or essential oil adds a beautiful, calming touch, perfect for a winter skincare ritual. 

  

Ingredients: 

- 1 teaspoon raw honey 

- 1 teaspoon castor oil (or jojoba oil for a lighter option) 

- 1 teaspoon organic brown sugar 

- A pinch of dried rose petals, finely crushed (optional) or 1 drop of rose essential oil 

  

Instructions: 

  1. In a small bowl, mix the raw honey and castor oil until well blended.
  2. Add the brown sugar and stir until you have a scrub-like texture.
  3. If you're using dried rose petals, crush them finely and mix them into the scrub. Alternatively, add a drop of rose essential oil for a gentle, floral scent.
  4. Gently massage the scrub onto your lips using small circular motions for about 1-2 minutes to slough away dead skin and promote circulation.
  5. Let the scrub sit on your lips for an additional minute to allow the honey and oils to deeply nourish.
  6. Rinse off with warm water and pat dry.
  7. Follow up with Vanilla Bean Tallow Lip Butter or Good Flower Farm Lip Balm to lock in moisture and keep your lips soft and hydrated throughout the day.

The castor oil provides a protective barrier, while the honey naturally soothes and hydrates. The optional rose petals or essential oil add a luxurious, calming touch, making this scrub a lovely addition to your winter self-care routine.
