5 DIY Scrubs For Amazing Lips

It is getting colder and all my bulky jackets are out. Today I realized that my lips were drier than usual and that they needed more than a hydrating lip balm to look better. And, I decided to whip up some simple lip scrubs. These DIY lip scrubs are super easy and delicious- I can actually use some of these as desserts after my dinner. These are great for gift purpose as well. In fact, I will be gifting three of these to my friends. You can change these recipes as per your preference by adding the flavors you like- lemon, mint, orange or even pumpkin. Pumpkin lip scrubs will make great fall gifts!

Besides being delectable, these lip scrubs are made from all-natural ingredients. I am sure you know by now that I am a big fan of natural DIY beauty treatments. The ingredients are safe for use on the skin and you don’t have to worry if you accidentally lick your lips. I keep doing that all the time while using these lip scrubs. Doesn’t that sound great?

Honey Lip Scrub

This lip-smacking scrub is such a teat for the skin! Made with sugar, honey, and coconut oil, it leaves the lips remarkably smooth and beautiful. Coconut oil is fabulous for moisturizing dry lips and honey acts as a humectant. It draws moisture from the air into the skin and has the ability to retain it. Sugar particles act as great exfoliators that gently slough away dead skin to reveal soft, supple lips. I have added two tablespoons sugar to make this scrub, you can change the quantity a little to get the desired consistency.

Ingredients

Two Tablespoons Sugar
One Tablespoon Honey
One Tablespoon Coconut Oil

Method

- Take honey and coconut oil in a bowl and mix well.
- Add two tablespoons sugar and mix again.
- Apply to the lips and massage in gentle circular motion to remove dead skin.

Coffee Lip Scrub

My friends hate me when I tell them that I am not a coffee lover. It is hard for them to believe that someone can actually survive without coffee! I may not consume this magical beverage but I like to use it in my DIY beauty treatments. It is full of antioxidants that are great for the skin and the best thing about coffee is that it can be used for all types of skin.

Half Tablespoon Olive Oil
