Then I decided to make it on my own, with the natural ingredients available. It has been rightly said that there is no substitute for natural products. Today, I am going to show you how to make an economical lip scrub that happily cures flaky lips and removes pigmentation to a large extent. Personally, it has been very beneficial to me.
