Blackberry Vanilla Sugar Lip Scrub

Blackberry Vanilla Sugar Lip Scrub

I am such a fan of lip scrubs. I have dry skin and love to use them a few times per week. This Blackberry Vanilla Sugar Lip Scrub smells heavenly and works very well.

Sugar scrubs are the perfect way to slough off some of that dry skin that doesn't seem to come off with regular cleansing and toning. Sugar scrubs are a simple way to create a fabulous beauty recipe with unending variations depending on your mood and preferences. They exfoliate your skin while moisturizing at the same time.

The beauty of sugar scrubs is that you can make them exactly what you what. They make fabulous teacher gifts or holiday gifts. They are perfect just to keep in your home and use for yourself.
