With the bold lip being one of the biggest beauty trends of the season, you need to be sure your pucker is ripe and ready to be the center of attention.

To do this, you must religiously condition and moisturize your kisser to assure a silky, smooth appearance. Trust us, flaky lipstick isn’t a good look on anybody.

While a slew of cosmetic scrubs are available for purchase from your local beauty retailer, there is also a very easy, very inexpensive version of the formula you can whip up right at home!

The following recipe is for a DIY brown sugar lip scrub, which after one application will make your lips looking as luscious as ever!

What you’ll need:
- ¼ teaspoon olive oil
- 1/8 teaspoon brown sugar
- Small mixing bowl
- Toothbrush to use for scrubbing (optional)

How to:
- Mix the olive oil and brown sugar together in a small bowl.
- With either your fingers or a toothbrush, scrub the mixture onto lips in a circular motion for 2 – 3 minutes.
- Rinse off with water. (Note: Some olive oil will stay behind, but that’ll only add more moisture to your lips.)
- Follow with your favorite lip balm!
