Yummy Coconut Oil and Sugar Lip Scrub That Works

A DIY sugar lip scrub with coconut oil can make such a difference to the look and feel of your pout. The dull, upper layer of the lips get gradually exfoliated, revealing plumper and more youthful lips.

The skin on our lips is very fragile, so I would not recommend scrubbing them more often than once or twice per week.

Sugar Lip Scrub with Only Edible Ingredients

This goes for skin in general, it is after all the largest organ of our body. We should not put anything on it that can cause harm by overburdening up chemically.

When it comes to our lips, it should be even more important.

Not only could the chemicals enter our bloodstream via the skin. On the lips, we can also ingest them!

There are thousands of chemicals in your products, many of which are being absorbed into your body. It’s impossible to avoid every single synthetic chemical, but you can do your part in limiting the amount of toxins your body is exposed to.

Huffington Post

This is why I strongly believe in using only edible ingredients for anything that comes close to my mouth. For an easy sugar lip scrub, I just walk over to my kitchen and grab some clean, non-toxic ingredients that are good enough to eat.

I use organic turbinado sugar because I like the texture, but if it seems too rough for you, it is fine to use just regular, finely granulated white or brown sugar.

Generally, the smaller the sugar crystal, the less risk it might cause abrasion on the delicate skin of the lips.

The best honey to use would be Manuka honey but it is pricey, so any other raw honey will be great.

Some kinds of honey are labeled organic but technically it is not possible to label any honey organic because no beekeeper really knows where the bees got their pollen and nectar from.

Just make sure your honey is raw, this way you’ll get all the benefits of this golden gift from the bees. Honey is an effective humectant which means it holds on to moisture, thus hydrating the skin.

It is also full of Alpha Hydroxy Acids which aid in exfoliation.

Ground Cinnamon, when fresh, will aid in circulation, plumping up the lips. It also has anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties.

Virgin Coconut Oil has been prized for centuries for its moisturizing ability, and it is also rich in antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and generally anti-aging properties.

Sweet Almond Oil is perfect for moisturizing skin, and it also boosts circulation which might help to plump the lips.

You can add a few drops of lemon or orange essential oil for the scent but it’s not necessary.

Hey guys, I know how frustrating it is when you ar Hey guys, I know how frustrating it is when you are struggling with skin issues β€” no matter what skincare routine you use, you can’t seem to get rid of whatever problem you have… that was me. First, dealing with acne well into my late 30s, then dealing with lackluster skin and signs of aging. Until… I changed my routine completely and went 100% natural, non-toxic, and minimalist. 

Imagine if in 30 days from now, you could heal your skin by using all-natural skincare that’s not only designed to help you but is also friendly to the environment.

Are you a science geek? I am a bit especially when Are you a science geek? I am a bit especially when it comes to science behind issues like gut health and skincare. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Here is a bit of science behind this OS01 serum.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
With the β€œscience of longevity” sector gaining rapid momentum in the public sphere, we are discovering that skin is not only a reliable indicator of overall health, but a major contributor to the prevention or development of age-related diseases. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
The secret is the OS-01 peptide, a revolutionary molecule that has been shown to decrease key markers of skin aging and increase epidermal thickness and resilience.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Clinical studies indicate that the OS-01 peptide improves health markers in the skin of human subjects, and in combination with the supporting ingredients in the OS-01 FACE Topical Supplement, significantly improves visual and functional health markers in skin.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Neat, huh? ​​​​​​​​

When you deal with gut issues, you’ll realize th When you deal with gut issues, you’ll realize this ancient saying to be the most important truth out there. Which doesn’t mean that illness won’t get you even if your diet is the healthiest that can be. I was vegan for a few years before getting colon cancer, and since battling it, I’ve been eating as best I can. Still, because of prior surgeries and cancer treatments, I’m still plagued by gut issues. Do I throw in the towel and start gorging on fast food and GMOs? Of course not! I pick myself up, recover from the setback, and start a new calm period with good eating and no tummy troubles. ​​​​​​​​

Let food be thy medicine! As another ancient man has said. ​​​​​​​​

If pressed, I’d have to say that Aloe Vera is my If pressed, I’d have to say that Aloe Vera is my favorite skincare ingredient. It is so versatile! I use it in my gentle facial cleanser, my hydrating serums, I mix my face masks with it, and I make an anti-blemish spot treatment with it. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Turns out, Aloe is particularly well suited to treat blemish-prone skin. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties, Aloe Vera has been used for centuries to cleanse wounds, kill pain, and heal burns. And that’s only when used topically! You can also ingest Aloe Vera and enjoy it’s soothing benefits for the digestive system.​​​​​​​​

This week is #nationalwomenshealthweek and this Ma This week is #nationalwomenshealthweek and this May is #mentalhealthawarenessmonth 

So what is health? Certainly much more than β€œnot being sick.” There are so many dimensions of health and wellness. Physical, mental, emotional, social, environmental, financial, spiritual. Prioritizing health – in all its aspects – has never been more important, especially for women. Juggling too many things at once, saying yes to too many responsibilities, many women have put off taking care of their general health and wellness needs. 
And now, we have others (mostly men in the government and the highest court) presume they can make health decisions for us. 

Scary times, and times to fight for our health and well-being. 

What does health mean to you? Let me know in the comments 😊

Three questions I get a lot both here and on my bl Three questions I get a lot both here and on my blog:

What do you use on your skin? 
Everything I use is handcrafted by me, with one exception, the OS01 Peptide Serum which I would not be able to replicate because the powerful ingredients are proprietary (link to it in my bio)

Is your skincare organic?
About 95-98% organic. There are a few ingredients which are not certified organic like leucidal liquid to preserve my HA serum and a few extracts. All oils, butters, hydrosols and essential oils are organic.

Are you really 50+?
Yes indeed, and thriving! Ever since getting cancer at the age of 45, birthdays don’t have the ominous meaning that they might have for some. Every year is a gift and a new chance to enjoy life to the fullest. 

Hit me up with any other questions, and share a bit about yourself.
