DIY: Easy & Affordable Lip Scrub
Hello my Lovelies! I've got a new tutorial for you all: how to make a lip scrub! Exfoliating your lips is a simple step that people tend to either forget about or ignore in their beauty regimes, but it does have it's benefits. It only takes a couple of minutes and you only need to do it one a week, maybe slightly more frequently during the winter.
Using a good lip scrub every now and then helps to remove all those nasty dead skin cells. This leaves your lips fresh soft and smooth and this in turn helps lipsticks and glosses to adhere to your lips better, which makes them last longer! It also helps your lips to retain moisture longer, stopping cracked and chapped lips, especially helpful during the windy, cold season!
With that said, lets get on with the tutorial!
What you're going to need:
Sugar (white or brown)
Coconut Oil
A small tin for storage
Jojoba Oil
and some food colouring if you want
Okay, so first thing, take your container and fill it up to about halfway with your sugar. My container is pretty small and it ended up only being about two tea spoons worth.
Next take a heaped tea spoon of coconut oil and add it to the tin.
Add a couple of drops of the jojoba oil.
And stir everything together.
This can be all you do, but for an added bit of flare I added a few drops of food colouring to the mixture. Don't worry, I tried it out and didn't notice any staining or tinting of the lips.
Make sure you mix it all together, and that's it! A really simple, inexpensive lip scrub! These can make cute little gifts for your friends if you wanted, just decorate the tin or mix up the colour of the scrub!
I hope you found this tutorial helpful, let me know what you think!
