    Exfoliating lips is a great way to bring out their natural pinkness. Mix a small amount of brown sugar and olive oil, rub the mixture over the entire surface of your lips in gentle circular motions, then rinse your lips.

    Coconut oil is great for lips because it forms a protective barrier over them instead of getting completely absorbed by the skin. This helps lock in their natural moisture and means that you don't need to reapply constantly.

  • Question
    Can I mix Kool-Aid powder and coconut oil?
    Community Answer
    The oil will dilute the Kool-Aid and make it harder to apply with your finger. I suggest you don't, but if you want, use a tooth brush (new and clean) to apply the liquid onto your lips, and seal it off with a Chapstick to contain it. Don't use a lot!

    That would make your lips appear glossier and exfoliated but it won't make them look red. It's also not the most enjoyable flavor on the lips all day.
