DIY Lip Scrub is easy, affordable, and a great way to save money, take care of yourself, and reduce packaging waste. Most scrubs have only 3-4 easy ingredients which are likely already in your kitchen. You can make these scrubs in just minutes!
Emollients are substances that help moisturize skin. They seal moisture in and offer healing properties. Exfoliants provide mild abrasion - the scrub aspect.
For me it comes down to a number of factors: cost, ingredients, and packaging. In striving to create less waste, a homemade scrub is pretty much going to win the contest every time.
To make, soften coconut oil. Stir in the sugar. Add optional oil. Mix gently until well-blended. To use, apply a small amount to your lips and massage in. Leave on for 5 minutes, and remove with a warm cloth.
How long will my homemade lip scrub last? If you don't use it all up, it will last up to 6 months in the fridge.
Should I use my lip scrub every day?
Though tempting, it can actually do the opposite of what you want and dry your lips out. So use it no more than 2-3 times a week for best results.
