Especially in the winter months, your lips tend to get chapped because they're not properly taken care of, so these DIY lip scrub recipes will come in very handy! All of these lip scrub recipes are easy to make, contain only natural ingredients and work better than any store bought scrubs that contain a ton of preservatives!
