Perhaps, in our time, this procedure is even more relevant than in antiquity, because the ecology today leaves much to be desired, cannot escape from the daily hassle and other negative, which can only accelerate the aging process.

The main components in the composition of the scrub two - is a skin cleansing composition and softening base. In scrubs, which are sold in the store, there may be such, the content of abrasive in which increased. If you use this product, you can not improve the skin of the lips, but on the contrary - harm it.

In this sense, the best option would be to prepare a lip scrub at home. For this, natural products that are commonly found in any home can be used. Home scrub always turns out very effective, useful and even edible! And at the same time - quite inexpensive.

It would seem - what is so difficult? Apply, massage and rinse. But it turns out, to achieve the best result, there are secrets here too.

1. First of all, the skin should be prepared for peeling, that is - lips should be steamed out. Take a fleece and soak in hot water, then it is applied to the lips. Thus, the desired effect will be achieved. Prepared and cleaned skin will be easy, and the beneficial components of the scrub will absorb better.
2. We put a scrub on the lips and on the area around, using the fingertips, and make them light massage to the lips. Rub this peeling cream in this case is not necessary, just as you do not need them and stretch - such actions can lead to the fact that the contour of the lips becomes blurred. Everything is done as easily as possible, gently and carefully, as an option, a toothbrush will do, but only if the bristles are soft.
3. Be patient. When the massage is finished, the product should remain on the lips for about five minutes, so that all the beneficial components of the scrub can be absorbed into the skin.
4. Rinse the mixture should be using warm water. Then dry the lips with a soft cloth and apply a nourishing cream.
5. An even better result can be achieved if, in conclusion, apply a mask on your lips, also prepared by yourself. The mask is left for about twenty minutes, and then apply the cream.The nutritional component in conclusion is an important component of the whole procedure, otherwise the skin of the lips will become dry and chapped.
6. It is important to remember one more important rule: if there is a problem on the lips like jade, cold or cracking, then procedures with scrubs are contraindicated until the trouble is completely eliminated.
7. The procedure to do better in the evening twice a week, occasionally - three, and more frequent procedures with a scrub will be not good, but to the detriment, and in pursuit of beautiful and attractive sponges you can get problems with damage to the dermis. If the weather is warm, the procedure is sufficient to do even once in ten days, and in the cold you can do it more often - a week or two or three times.

For such thinnest skin, which is on the lips, peeling should be prepared as delicate as possible, which could not be damaged. This effect can be achieved if the base of the scrub is made light and soft, and the particles for peeling are soluble during the procedure.

What is suitable as such a base is any oil (the best of the options, of course, is olive oil, but sunflower and animal origin are allowed). And as an abrasive grain suitable:

• granulated sugar;
• oat flakes in a crushed form;
• thick coffee or ground coffee.

At home there is always the opportunity to prepare different scrubs, because at hand there are many different products, and with each of them you can make different peeling products, the functions of which will be different. They will depend on the qualities of one or another component that has been added. For example, a component such as cottage cheese will make the scrub nutritious, and aspirin - curative.

Any homemade recipe is prepared quickly and simply, because the house usually has everything you need, most often even in the store for them do not have to go. The next time there is always the opportunity to make a scrub from other components, because the recipes for their preparation are not counted, and here are just some of them:

With balsam - for any time of the year. The simplest recipe is sugar. To make it, you need the usual lip balm and sugar. Lips are massaged with this mixture for about two minutes, then we clean them with a soft cloth and apply the same balm, but without additives.

With strawberry. It starts the regeneration of skin cells. This recipe is suitable for the season when strawberries ripen - the main component of such an appetizing scrub. It will take only three berries, which should be crushed with a fork. There we also add lemon juice (1 teaspoon) and honey (1/2 teaspoon). Now the tasty mass is superimposed on the lips for about eight minutes (the main thing is to hold on and not lick it off during this time). At the end do not forget to moisturize lips.

With kiwi. Such a recipe will be a godsend for a scrub in the winter season. Fruit, without removing the skin from it, knead with a fork and mix with melted steamed butter (half a teaspoon). Winter is such a time of the year when not only our skin is not toned, but also our lips. A sudden change in temperature dries them out, and peeling with kiwi will not only tone up the skin on the lips, but also nourish it.

Then everything, as usual - apply for seven minutes, massage, rinse, moisten.

With rose petals. This recipe is preferred by Englishwomen. For the cream will need:

• powdered sugar (6 tbsp. spoons);
• dried rose petals of any color;
• jojoba oil (a couple of teaspoons);
• peppermint oil (three drops).

Petals are crushed with a blender, and oil, as always, can be replaced by any other.In the recipe indicated jojoba, as not clogging the skin. This product can be used as a facial scrub.

With mint and honey. It has a rejuvenating effect. Ingredients:

• brown sugar (two teaspoons) or white sugar (a teaspoon);
• honey (teaspoon);
• peppermint oil (one drop) or organic coconut oil (tablespoon).

With such a peeling, the sponges become young, resilient and very seductive.

• With sugar for a cleansing effect.

• With soda for the caring effect.

• With candied honey.

• With cottage cheese.

• With rice.

• With coffee and sour cream.

• With aspirin.

This is an effective tool to clean up weathered lips.

• With castor oil.

• With coffee powder.

• With petroleum jelly.

• Cinnamon.

• grape seed oil, which is sold in pharmacies (1/2 tsp);
• sugar (can be unprocessed cane, and you can also plain) - also 1/2 tsp;
• cinnamon essential oil (three drops);
• cinnamon powder (on the tip of a knife).

To prepare the product, mix the sugar with cinnamon, add warm (just put the bottle in a container with hot water) grape seed oil and cinnamon oil (if you could not get it, you can replace it with one drop of pepper tincture, which is sold in a pharmacy).

On lips such structure to hold 20 seconds - no more, and if in it pepper tincture, then fifteen will suffice. You will not recognize your lips - they will not only become much brighter, but also add in volume. But with such a recipe, you should be very careful, because of the cinnamon in some women is irritated.

Although it is precisely due to such a component as cinnamon (which in principle can be added to any of the recipes), the sponges become more voluminous and swollen, which girls like so much. But caution still does not hurt.

• With coconut oil.

All components equally. If you have almond nuts, they can be ground and used instead of sugar. The finished product should be put into a glass container and put into the refrigerator. You will be able to use this composition during the week, only before applying on the lips, warm the scrub in the palm of your hand.

You will be amazed by the result after the first application, but too often you should not do it.

It is important to always remember that you can not lick your lips, especially if you are on the street, and especially in the winter when a strong wind blows. This will be followed by an increase in the dryness of the lips; irritation and unsightly cracking may appear on the skin.

When preparing a peeling cream, keep in mind that you will repeat the procedure no more than three times a week, and you can only store the composition in the refrigerator for a week. So, make as much product as you need it three times.

A lip scrub, prepared on its own, has advantages over store mass, but the main difference is, of course, the naturalness of all components. This, unfortunately, can not boast store counterparts. On the packaging of some store peel creams it is written about their naturalness, but it is hard to believe that this can be true.
