DIY Home Sugar Scrub Recipe
Ingredients:
1 tbsp coconut or olive oil
1 tbsp organic honey
2 tbsp brown sugar
Mix all ingredients. Apply to lips using circular motion for 2-3 mins. Do not scrub hard, just enough to slightly exfoliate lips.
Allow mask to sit 15-20 mins. Rinse with luke warm water. Blot dry, do not rub.
Apply Aquaphor lip balm after, no other chapstick/glosses.
Purchase Aquaphor lip balm (w/ SPF) at local CVS, Walgreens or Walmart in advance. Must wear this consistently for 2 weeks after service, no other lipsticks/glosses for 1st week. Great to still continuously wear to help retain new lip color.
More important information
If lips have not been properly exfoliated or moisturized prior to service, I will have to refuse service (reschedule fees apply)
If you have ever experienced a cold sore, please begin taking prescription cold sore medicine 1 week before & after treatment date (or prescribed by doctor)
Avoid lipsticks 4 days prior to treatment, use only Aquaphor
NO smoking, caffeine, or alcohol within 2 days of appointment
NO aspirin, fish oil, or other blood thinners for minimum of 1 week of appointment
Stop using any lip lightening agents (acids, bleaches, etc) within 3 months of appointment
If you normally scrub your lips on a daily basis, please stop. The skin needs time to heal. You should only be doing daily scrubs 4 consecutive days right before your appointment.
