Is it just me or when the temperature drops my lips start to feel dry and eventually have painful cracks? Do you have that problem too? Even with my favorite lip balm, my lips still look like a mess when the weather starts to be cooler. I have tried many kinds of lip balms to no avail. Fortunately, I ended up knowing that lips need to be exfoliated too! That is why I came up with this homemade lip scrub that is all organic, smells great, and feels super refreshing as well. Introducing the Vanilla Mint Lip Scrub! See how easy it is to make here.
What I Love About This Recipe
- By far the best blend lip scrub I’ve tried!
- Super easy to make. It literally took me 5 minutes.
- My lips absorb the lip balm better thanks to this scrub.
What’s in the Vanilla Mint Lip Scrub?
Brown Sugar
Brown sugar acts as an exfoliant to get all the dead skin off of your lips!
Granulated Sugar
Granulated sugar is very similar to the brown sugar in this recipe! It allows for this recipe to fully exfoliate your lips.
Vanilla Extract
Vanilla Extract brings the vanilla flavor to this recipe! It may seem like a little amount, but it brings a lot of vanilla scent!
Fractionated Coconut Oil
Fractionated coconut oil is a carrier oil to dilute this recipe and also moisturize after your lips have been exfoliated.
Peppermint Essential Oil
Just 1 drop of Peppermint Essential Oil is used in this recipe! Because it is so diluted, it is safe to use with any age group!
Small Jar
A small jar is used to house this recipe. Keeping it in a small, airtight container allows for all the properties of this recipe to stay intact.
