My 2 cents

(A) On How to apply this homemade lip scrub

• Wash off every trace of a lip balm/lip stick off your lips with cold water.
• Drink a glass of water.
• Coat your lips in a layer of cold raw milk dunked in a cotton ball.
• Once semi-dry, dunk your index finger in the scrub, apply it on your lips and scrub (not scratch) gently for 2 whole minutes.
• Wash off your lips with cold water.
• Moisturize with organic ghee. It is a wonderful emollient (binds and locks moisture to your lips). Either use homemade ‘Shudh Desi’ ghee or an organic variant here

OR 

• You can use an organic lip balm such as – This simple lip balm (it’s colourless) 

OR

You can make your own lip balms at home (that’s better!)

Here are some recipes 

• DIY Choco Lip Balm – here
• DIY Coffee Lip Balm – here
• Homemade budget lip balm (under 20/- INR) – here

(B) Precautions

• Do not go into the ‘This is Spaaartaan’ mode while scrubbing. Be gentle.
• If irritation  occurs, discontinue use.
• Scrub your lips till all the granules get dissolved. If you go by the clock, two minutes is sufficient. But that is 2 whole minutes…120 seconds…not the Indian quantification of 2 minutes (= Stop when you get bored or tired) 

(C) Suggestions

• Do not scrub every day. Once every three days is sufficient.
• If you wear heavy lip makeup daily, scrubbing once a day is fine.
• Continue with this homemade lip scrub for at least three weeks to see results.
