7 Simple DIY Lip Scrub Recipes for Smooth Lips

Hey Everyone! 

DIY lip scrub recipes are a fantastic and natural way to exfoliate away dry, flaky skin while nourishing your lips with moisture. The result: beautifully smooth, soft lips.

I like to keep the ingredients simple, since it’s such a small area to be applying it. By combining ingredients like sugar, honey, and coconut oil, you can customize your own exfoliating lip scrub very easily.

I used to use lip scrubs years ago, especially when I was in my 20s. I was just starting out in life, and making my own was a perfect way to save money. Effective lip scrubs can leave your lips feeling luxurious and supple, and they don’t have to come from the drugstore.

These homemade lip scrubs are not only easy on the wallet but also simple to make and allow for complete control over what goes on your skin, making them ideal for embracing a more natural beauty routine. And really, when you’re done, you could eat most of them off your lips. Yum!

Here are some DIY lip exfoliating ideas that you can easily make at home…
