What You’ll Need:

* 1/2 tsp. sugar
* 1 solid, “stick” lip balm (the kind that twists up out of its container, NOT the kind that comes in a little pot). Make sure that this is one that you don’t mind reserving only for this specific treatment
* 1 moisturizing lip balm (any type works fine)
* Tissue

Directions:

1. Start out with your solid, “twist up” lip balm. Remove the cap and dip the end of the lip balm into the sugar. The sugar should easily stick to the balm. Just make sure that the exposed end of the lip balm is well coated.
2. Apply the sugar-coated balm to your lips and gently massage in circles over the entire lip area, taking extra care to concentrate on dry, flaky areas. This step may get a little messy, so you might want to do this over a sink.
3. Once you have gently massaged your lips with your “sugar balm”, gently rub off the excess sugar with a tissue.
4. Apply the other (non-sugared) lip balm to help seal in moisture and prevent future peeling.
