Applying the Lip Scrub:
After ur done making the mixture rub this on ur lips in a circular motion. This is non-toxic so if u accidentally lick this with ur lips, it won't do no harm (it's honey and sugar after all!).

Taking the Lip Scrub Off:
Gently wipe away the scrub with a damp towel/cloth. You can also wrinse it off with water.

After Application:
It's very important you do this step to keep your lips hydrated after the application. Make sure you apply lip balm/chapstick after u wipe the scrub off. This way ur lips won't get chapped during the day or overnight.

Pre-cautions:
Don't get this scrub near your eyes. If it accidentally does get caught, wrinse off immediately. If your allergic to honey obviously do not use this on ur lips. If ur lips feel irratated after, then make sure you have applied ur lip balm/chapstick. If irratation continues, do not use this product again. (Some people have highly sensitive skin, so this goes to all of those type of people out there). Do not use this scrub for more than 2 times a week (to be on the safe side). And no, this does not make ur lips "raw".

Storing the Scrub:
I recommend that you make a new one for every use. You can store this for I'd say the most a week. But again, I highly recommend u make a new one.

Food Coloring Use?
I have gotten a few questions on if you could add food coloring. You can, but remember ur putting this stuff on ur lips (u don't want ur lips turning BLUE by mistake!) So if you ask me, i wouldn't. Though, if you are, test if the food coloring sticks to ur skin by doing a swatch in the back of ur hand.
