It's that time of year again - for dry cracked lips! DIY sugar scrubs are the way to go. You can even customize the ingredients to your liking. Best of all, you probably already have all the ingredients right there in your own home. Rub some of the homemade lip scrub onto your lips to exfoliate your lips, leaving them soft and free of dry flakes. Rub off with a towel or wash off with water. Follow up with some homemade cocoa-mint lip balm.
You will need:
- 1 ounce sugar
- 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon cocoa powder {Amazon link
}
- 1 teaspoon raw honey (Texas) {Amazon link
}
- 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil {Amazon link
} or carrier oil of choice such as sweet almond oil {Amazon link
}
- 1-2 drops Vitamin E oil - optional {Amazon link
}
- 2 drops Young Living Peppermint essential oil
- 1 oz jar (glass or plastic is fine) {Amazon link
}
Instructions
1. Mix together the sugar and cocoa powder in a small bowl.
2. Add honey, grapeseed oil (or carrier oil of choice), Vitamin E and 2 drops of peppermint essential oil and mix with the sugar/cocoa.
3. Spoon scrub into a jar with a tight fitting lid. Add decorative label or card including info about how to use the scrub, if desired.
To use: gently massage sugar scrub onto wet lips. Wipe off with a towel and rinse thoroughly.
This chocolate mint sugar lip scrub pairs nicely with my Cocolate mint sugar body scrub.
