Say Goodbye to Chapped Lips With These DIY Lip Scrubs
We're *all* about homemade beauty products, and we love DIY lip scrubs. Not only is it a fun pastime, it means we can control what we're putting on our skin. Every solution essentially boils down to two simple components — an exfoliator and a nourishing agent — that make for a killer combo in vanquishing chapped lips forever. We've rounded up 20 delightful DIY recipes you can make at home right now.
