How Long will Lip Scrub Last?
If stored in a cool, dry place, it will last a month or so. If stored in the refrigerator, it will last up to two months. However, in the refrigerator, the oil will cause the scrub to harden a bit, but it still works just fine.

Erin Henry says
It smells good enough to eat for sure. But I'd just stick to using it as an exfoliator!

Can we use pure honey?

Honey is great on the skin. Without the sugar, this recipe is not as exfoliating.
