DIY Lip Scrubs

1. Lemon Lip Scrub

Lemon not only gives your scrub a citric taste but also brightens the lips and scars. Mix together 1 teaspoon of coconut oil, 1 teaspoon of raw honey, 2 teaspoons of raw sugar and a dash lemon juice to create a sugary paste. Coconut oil aids in keeping your lips moisturise after removing the dead skin, leaving you with plump lips.

2. Brown Sugar Vanilla Lip Scrub

Mix ½ teaspoon of honey, ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of olive oil and 2 teaspoons of brown sugar for a sweet lip scrub that is totally edible.

3. Peppermint Lip Scrub

For a minty and refreshing scrub, mix 4 drops of peppermint essential oil, ¼ teaspoon of honey, 1 teaspoon of coconut oil and 2 teaspoons of sugar. The best part is that this recipe is totally edible so you can lick it off and get a minty fresh breath.

4. Chocolate Lip Scrub

A flavour that you’ll definitely not forget to use! Mix 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, a drizzle of honey, 2 teaspoons of olive oil and 3 tablespoons of white granulated sugar. This sweet, chocolate flavour will be great as a gift as well.

5. Coffee Lip Scrub

Just the scrub to perk you up in the morning! Mix 2 teaspoons of coffee grounds, 1 teaspoon of honey and 1 teaspoon of olive oil to get your coffee lip scrub. Coffee not only tastes good but can also reduce stress levels and fight depression.

6. Lip Balm Scrub

Got a favourite lip balm flavour? Well, why not turn it into a lip scrub too? Mix some sugar, petroleum jelly and your favourite lip balm together and you’ll get a longer-lasting flavour that will polish your lips.
