Lip Scrub Recipes



Lip scrubs help removed dead skin, thus revealing smooth kissable lips!!  This will help with dry, chapped lips, smooth lipstick or color application as well!  I don't know about you, but I hate feeling that rough feeling when I rub my lips together and when my lipstick looks cracked.


Recipe #1
  • Brown Sugar
  • Raw Honey
  • Coconut Oil
  • Shea Butter
  • Aloe Vera Gel
FYI: I would keep this refrigerated becaue I used pure Aloe Vera Gel from Lily of the Dessert, which needs to be refrigerated.

Recipe #2
Recipe #3
  • Petroelum Jelly/ Unpetroleum Jelly
  • Brown Sugar/White Sugar

Ways to personalize:
  • Add Mica for color
  • Add Flavoring ( banana, orange, vanilla)
  • Use a desired oil and/or butter( shea, mango, cocoa)
  • Use Chapstick or something similiar

Instructions:
  1. Mix ingredients in small bowl
  2. Place in storage container of choice
Application:
  1. Take small amount on finger tip and apply to lips
  2. Scrub gently ( if using raw honey only, you can use an towel or toothbrush to help)
  3. Rinse scrub off and apply lip balm


Enjoy!

  2. I've also heard that brushing your lips when you brush your teeth is a great way to exfoliate. You can do this at night and just put some vaseline on.

  4. Similar to recipe 3 - I like dipping my basic chapstick in sugar and exfoliating that way. Super easy - and you probably already have all the ingredients. :)
