I have an obsession with chapstick! I pretty much always have some form of either chapstick or lip ointment in my bag! That doesn’t mean my lips are always soft, I am constantly treating my lips every chance I get! Of course I love a great lip scrub and some are definitely better than others!! This is by far one of my favorites to date!
Cosmetics companies are putting out lip scrubs and another such gubbins so we too can have super smooth lips, how nice of them. Only I’m not really prepared to pay lots of money for these products. So I made my own.
Lemon Lip Scrub Recipe
Ingredients:
- Juice of 1/2 a lemon
- 100g soft brown sugar
- Runny honey
- Olive oil
- A bowl
- Wooden spoon
Lemon Lip Scrub Instructions
Put the half soft brown sugar into a bowl slowly add enough honey to mix into a firm paste – almost so it comes together in chunks. Then pour in olive oil bit by bit until reaches a thin but not runny consistency. Add the lemon juice and mix in very well. Finish by adding the remainder of brown sugar and stirring until the paste is almost hummus like in consistency. Add more honey or oil if you feel the mixture needs it, just make sure it isn’t sloppy. Now you have Lemon Lip Scrub recipe.
You can then pack the scrub into a small leftover pot or tin and pop in the fridge to keep it fresh.
The brown sugar is just rough enough to rub off the dry skin without damaging your lips, the lemon prevents infections and the oil and honey soften your lips into kissable submission. Mwah!
