Don't get me wrong, my lips feel less dry and I'm less inclined to pick them until they bleed, but you could make one right now with stuff you have in your kitchen.
This sells in Lush for about a fiver, its supposed to taste like popcorn (no shit). It smells LUSH, haha geddit, but sugar and salt just tastes sick. If you look at the ingredients, it's all pretty basic;

Make one:
- Granulated sugar (caster/demerera sugar for a milder scrub)
- Extra virgin olive oil or honey instead of the jojoba oil, both provide just as much moisture.
- Flavouring if you really want to eat it afterwards...
- Mix so it looks like snow consistency.
- Use a lip balm (or aforementioned oil/honey) to moisturise afterwards.

The ingredients are self preserving, so you can either decant or just make it up when you need it.
I always have scabby lips in the winter and thought a scrub would just be abrasive.. But I feel a difference, I think it must be helping with the cell turnover so they never get in such a dry state. My lips look FAT after scrubbing too.. Gets the circulation going I suppose ;) definitely recommend giving it ago if you suffer with the same.

Ciao for now :)
(did I really just say that)
I didn't like this one either! It smelt like sweet popcorn and tasted like salt, couldn't stand to use it on my lips! The bubble gum scrub is much nicer tasting so you can give them more of a scrub, but it's still pricey! Think I might give your recipe a go :)
