Keep adding the lemon juice gradually! The lemon juice acts as a lip cleanser- the acid of the lemon kills the bacteria on the lips. It also tastes great too!

Do not add too much lemon juice in one go! If you've added too much juice, just even it out with a couple more teaspoons of sugar. The sugar acts as an exfoliator to the lips, removing the dead skin.

Now time to clean up! Petroleum jelly is hard to clean, but washing up liquid is a dispersant so use washing up liquid to scrub off the petroleum jelly and it will come off effortlessly  :)

I saw someone else say they ate it all. Is Vaseline safe to eat? I wish I read the coconut oil comment before I went to the store. That would be perfect. But it's too late I got Vaseline.
