DIY Lipscrub

Okay, so recently I've been obsessing over making sure my lips are super smooth and soft because if they aren't I tend to bite them. Anyone else have that problem? Or am I alone in this? Anyway, I wanted to find an effective way to face this strange problem. And so I did some research on lipscrubs! I really didn't want to pay for anything so I searched Pinterest. There I settled upon one very simple lipscrub, of course I changed in a little to make it even more simple, because simple is better. I'm glad to say that this really does work!

So lets begin...

What you need:
1.) Honey
2.) Olive Oil
3.) Brown Sugar
4.) A washcloth
5.) A tsp
6.) A little container with a lid

Really, there is no real measuring to this. I put an equal amount of each ingredient (Brown Sugar, Olive Oil, and Honey) in, but ended up hating the consistency because the fact that is was so oily bothered me to no end, so I added a couple more teaspoons of Brown Sugar until it was a more solid consistency. Of course, you can make it to what ever consistency desire just as long as it still "scrubs" your lips because the point of this DIY is to rid your lips of dryness.

How to use it:
Take a finger-full and rub it on your lips (just for around 30 seconds but you can go up until two minutes). Then dampen the washcloth and wash off the scrub. And "TADA!" you've got smooth lips.You simply store it in the refrigerator until the next use. It's good to use as long as your Olive Oil is good.

This is a great option for those who have dry or flaky lips, it hydrates and moisturizes. I will definitely be using this again!

DIY Clear Acne Fast With Lemon

Throughout our lives we go through an awkward moment, they usually start mid-teenage years (lets all decide this is puberty's fault). All of us usually have at least one pimple in our lives. If your an average teenager, like myself, you'll have what seems like thousands at a time. This horrible condition can leave you with absolutely no self-confidence! Wherever you go you may feel like everyone is staring at you constantly in a negative way, I promise you they aren't, but sometimes your mind plays tricks on you. Doctors love to recommend expensive products, and if that works for you that's awesome, but really there's a simple trick to getting rid of acne fast! Plus, it's cheap!

What you need:

1.) 1 lemon

2.) A knife

3.) A container

4.) cotton ball

5.) Oil free moisturizer

Steps to success: 

1.) Take the lemon and cut it in half with your knife

2.) Squish lemon juice into container

3.) Dip cotton ball into the lemon juice

4.) Dab on oily skin or newly occurred break out

5.) Wash it off after letting it sit for a bit

6.) Moisturize skin

7.) Then store in the refrigerator

Lemon juice not only clears up acne quickly but also brightens the skin! Nature has the best medicine.

The downfalls to this treatment is that if left on the skin for a long period of time it can be very drying. Also, you shouldn't use this in the morning because it increases your skin's sensitivity to the sun. If your skin burns after using the lemon juice, remove immediately. You could be allergic.

I use this tactic on an occasion and I believe it does wonders. I recommend this highly!
