6 Diy Lip Scrub Recipes

Did you know that having dead skin cells on your lips can actually change your lip color, which in turn can make your lips look dull and lifeless and make your favourite lipstick look not as good? Lip scrubs are the easiest way to keep your lips looking soft and lush and to make sure your favourite lipstick or lipgloss glides on smoothly and shows up as the true color. And the good news is – you don’t have to spend crazy amounts of money on lip scrubs. The majority of them use sugar as the main ingredient, so you can easily whip it up at home and customize it to your preferred color, scent and texture using things you already have in your cupboard. Here are just a few easy DIY lip scrubs that you can easily make at home.

1. Cinnamon Lip Scrub

This is a great idea for those of you who love spiced things and can’t wait for autumn. Cinnamon spice late but in a lip scrub. All you need is two tablespoons of brown sugar, half a tablespoon of olive oil and half a tablespoon of honey – your base lip scrub is done. Now add cinnamon, about a teaspoon should be more than enough. This scrub is both exfoliation and invigorating, you might find that your lips will be a bit tingly and more voluminous after this.

2. Rose Lip Scrub

If you like things that smell like roses and want rosy lips, why not make yourself a rose lips scrub. All you need is granulated sugar and coconut oil, in proportions 2 to 1, some dried rose petals and a few drops of rose essential oils. Just mix it together and pack into a small mason jar or a lip scrub container. Store in the fridge for up to a week.
