Materials
Main Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon raw honey Use plain honey, not flavored syrup.
- 1 teaspoon aloe vera gel Use simple gel or fresh aloe; ensure it's clear and clean.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a tiny bowl or shot glass, mix the honey and aloe vera gel until it forms a glossy gel.
- If the mixture separates, stir again. Adjust texture by adding more honey for thickness or more aloe for less stickiness.
Application
- After brushing your teeth, pat your lips dry and apply a generous layer of the mask.
- Ensure it covers the lip line, especially in areas that tend to dry out.
- Avoid drinking water immediately after application; if necessary, use a straw and reapply if needed.
Exfoliation (Optional)
- Before applying the mask, gently exfoliate your lips using a warm damp washcloth for 10 to 15 seconds or massage a tiny bit of honey on the lips, then rinse.
Notes
Use this mask 3 to 5 nights a week for dry lips, then 1 to 2 nights a week for maintenance. Apply a morning lip balm with SPF after rinsing off the mask. Avoid if allergic to any ingredients or if lips are bleeding.
