I don’t know about you, but my skin can be so sensitive. In the spring and summer, I’m out in the sun a lot and my lips get dry. In the fall and winter, the air gets cooler and sure enough my lips get dry. It’s like no matter what time of year… my lips get dry. Can you relate? That’s why I use this DIY Lip Scrub.

An Easy Lip Scrub

It helps to naturally exfoliate, moisturize and soothe my lips. And best of all, it’s so easy to make… and made with simple ingredients you probably have in your pantry. Because this DIY Lip Scrub is made with real food ingredients, kids and teens can use this recipe too. There are no additives or preservatives.

How to Make This Homemade Lip Scrub

1. Melt coconut oil over low heat on the stove or in a double boiler, if it’s in a solid form. This usually takes 2-3 minutes.

2. Pour coconut oil into a small bowl. Add all remaining ingredients together and mix well.

3. Store in a small glass jar for about a week

How to Use This Homemade Lip Scrub

1. Apply about 1-2 tsp of the scrub to the lips.
2. Let the scrub sit on the lips for about 1 minute, then gently wash off with warm.
3. Exfoliate lips 2-3 times a week.

Ingredients in This Homemade Lip Scrub

• Brown sugar is a natural exfoliator. It will help to remove dead skin cells and promote new cell turnover.
• Raw honey helps to restore moisture and supports skin health.
• Coconut oil helps to provide moisture and acts like a lubricant to make the brown sugar exfoliate easier on the lips.
• Lavender essential oil helps to moisturize and soothe sensitive skin. Just be sure you’re using an essential oil that’s high quality as this will be going on your lips. (Find out how to get my favorite set of essential oils for 60% off.)

Top Tips for This Homemade Lip Scrub

• For the most part, using a lip scrub once a week is perfect for maintaining a smooth, flake-free smile. But you can certainly add it into your daily beauty routine.
• If you have trouble removing your liquid lipsticks (or any lip products in general), you can also use this DIY Sugar Lip Scrub to scrub it away!
• Before using, allow the scrub to stand at room temperature for a good 10 minutes so that the formula softens a bit.
• You can use a soft toothbrush. If you have particularly sensitive skin, a children’s toothbrush will work well. Keep this one specifically for this purpose, not to be mixed up with your usual.
