 Face

Honey and Sugar Lip Scrub, by Emma

“It’s super easy to make, helps instantly with chapped lips and can be stored for months in a jar. It’s quite abrasive so I put a lip balm on straight after!”

Oat and Honey Face Mask, by Jess

“A great soothing mask for sensitive skin.”

• Mix:
  1x glug of honey or agave syrup

• You can amp up the richness by adding a capsule of evening primrose oil or vitamin E
