During a recent shopping trip to one of my fave beauty and makeup stores, my friend and I noticed a shelf full of lip scrubs. We were shocked by the price, especially since I make lip scrubs all the time for a fraction of the cost.
Why lip scrubs you ask? Lip scrubs are perfect for exfoliating your lips, keeping them moisturize during extreme weather like the 100 degree plus days we've had this Summer and those cold, Winter months which will soon be here.
Lip scrubs gently exfoliate lips and help keep lips kissably soft and lip scrubs are simple to make. All you really need are 3 ingredients you've probably got in your pantry right now:
1. Sugar
2. Carrier oil
3. Essential oil or extract
Most recipes call for a 1/2 cup sugar to 1/2 teaspoon carrier oil ratio with 10-20 drops of essential oil or extract for scent and flavoring and some food coloring for those who want a splash of color. I usually forego the food coloring as I prefer the natural coloring.
