If your lips feel dry or cracked, making a homemade lip scrub is a quick and easy way to smooth and soften them. You don’t need fancy ingredients—just a few simple things from your kitchen. This natural lip scrub will gently exfoliate your lips, leaving them soft and ready for some lip balm or lipstick.
What You’ll Need:
- Sugar: This is what exfoliates the dead skin. You can use white or brown sugar.
- Oil: Helps moisturize your lips. Coconut oil, olive oil, or even almond oil will work.
- Honey (optional): Adds extra moisture and has healing properties.
- Flavor or Essential Oils (optional): If you want a nice scent, you can add a tiny drop of vanilla or peppermint oil.
How to Make Your Lip Scrub:
- Get Your Ingredients Ready: Use 2 parts sugar and 1 part oil. For example, mix 2 tablespoons of sugar with 1 tablespoon of oil. If you’re adding honey, use about ½ teaspoon of honey.
- Mix It Up: In a small bowl, stir the sugar and oil together until you have a gritty paste. If you’re using honey or essential oil, mix them in too.
- Apply to Your Lips: Take a little of the scrub, using a lip scrubber gently rub it on your lips in small circles. Be gentle—your lips are delicate!
- Rinse Off: After about 30 seconds, rinse the scrub off with warm water and pat your lips dry.
- Moisturize: Put on your favorite lip balm to lock in moisture and keep your lips feeling soft.
How Often Should You Use It?
Use your lip scrub once or twice a week. Doing it too often can make your lips sore, so it’s best not to overdo it.
That’s it! You’ve just made a simple, natural lip scrub that will help keep your lips smooth and soft. Perfect for when your lips need a little extra care.
