I took a few minutes to make a homemade lip scrub and it was worth it! It’s very simple to make, requires only a few minutes, and a scant amount of household ingredients.

A good exfoliating lip scrub is perfect anytime of year but is especially helpful during the winter or in a drying climate. It helps shed the chapped layers leaving new skin that is ready and open for moisturization. It also makes my applied lipstick look even better!

What You’ll Need

1. organic sugar (evaporated cane juice or coconut sugar)
2. oil (I used almond but jojoba or olive oil would be great too!)

Add a Booster

• essential oils
• vanilla bean powder
