What you need

Start by mixing the honey and salt together to form a chunky scrub.

To apply,  dip a face cloth into warm water and lay it on your lips. The warm water softens the skin.

Gently and in a circular motion apply the scrub.

Allow it to sit for 2-3 minutes before using the warm cloth to gently wipe it off.

You should be left with soft exfoliated lips that are ready for lipstick.

Epsom salts and Magnesium salts are not quite the same things. Epsom salts are Magnesium Sulphate and Magnesium flakes/salts are Magnesium Chloride. So what does that mean for you?

Epsom salt is harder to absorb into the body than a straight magnesium flake. But either is going to do wonders for your body and once you use either of them, you never go back! Either of them are great for the body and mind. They help relax muscles and relieve pain in the body and can promote sleep while also helping to stabilize your mood and relieve stress, anxiety, and depression. Something we all need help with!
