Health magazine is again the culprit for this new thing. They had an article on alternative uses for food, i.e. as beauty projects. Most seem really interesting, a strawberry face-mask, pumpkin skin scrub, etc. The easiest was using olive oil as an alternative to lip gloss. Seems harmless enough...the raved of its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and stated that "a pea-sized amount dabbed on the lips will hydrate a parched pucker."
so I tried it and...
At first I thought it was wonderful! My lips were smooth and hydrated, I was raving about it...until I woke up the next morning with a giant crack down the center of my lip that took a week to go away...I do not recommend trying this one at home :)
