  1. Dip a cotton wool swab into Vaseline until it's coated in a gauze-like layer.
  2. Dip the same cotton swab into sugar that you've poured outgoing into a wakeful dish. Fine-grained caster bread works outflank.
  3. Wet your lips with a little H2O to soften any sour skin.
  4. Rub the cotton swab gently over your lips in small circles.
  5. Wipe soured any excess product with a clean tissue paper.
  6. Follow up with a lip ointment or lipstick.
