As the temperature drops down, low humidity depletes our skin of its natural lipid layer causing dryness and flaking, and chapped lips. While there's a variety of moisturizers and exfoliants available in stores, here's a cheap alternative that you can do at home: brown sugar.
For lips: Apply your favorite lip balm first or if you don't have one, you may skip it. If you've applied lip balm, leave it on your lips for at least 15 minutes. Then slowly rub the sugar on both your lower and upper lip for a minute or 2. Wash with water.
For the body: Mix sugar with baby oil or olive oil. Prepare the amount of sugar that you think will be enough for your whole body. The amount of oil you put on your sugar depends on your desired consistency of the mixture. While in the shower, massage the sugar-oil mixture onto your skin and leave it on until the sugar dissolves. If you're not patient enough to wait that long, leave it on for at least 5 minutes. Rinse off sugar completely with warm water and pat skin dry with towel. The sugar scrubs off the dead skin cells while the oil acts as moisturizer.
