7. To Use: apply a generous amount to your lips and gently massage. Rinse off with warm water.

Recipe Notes

*Note: using liquid honey will be easier but you can use harder, raw honey also. Either heat it up slightly before adding or be prepared to mix a bit harder.

How To Use The Diy Sugar Lip Scrub

In addition to using it on my lips I find this diy lip scrub works really well on my face too. Though if you have oily skin, do a test patch first.

As for the rest of your body, I find that you need a bit more of a harder scrub to do the legs. While this one feels amazing it doesn’t exfoliate tougher skin surfaces outside the lips and face as well.

Use this scrub gently on your lips by rubbing it softly on your lips and rinsing with warm water. Then, make sure to follow it up with a nourishing lip chap or even some coconut oil. Or the creamsicle lip balm from Primally Pure (if you’re not into making your own). It smells amazing and you can save 10% on your first order if you use code fitasamamabear.

If you’re feeling generous, whip up a big batch and give them out as thoughtful presents to friends, neighbors and teachers. That way, everyone can enjoy silky lips!

The combination of salt, sugar and honey accomplishes this beautifully.

Using plain old white sugar along with pink hymalyain salt is the perfect combination for a homemade lip scrub. It’s extremely gentle, exfoliates your lips and from a gift perspective, it’s pink!

This diy sugar and honey lip scrub is beyond simple to whip up, smells great and leaves your lips feeling plush and pampered.

The Benefits of Raw Honey

Raw honey is one of my favorite ingredients! Honey is both moisturizing and soothing but it also has anti-bacterial properties. I personally love this in a lip scrub as technically you are peeling away a layer of protection (a dead layer but still). The honey can help clean the area while boosting it’s recovery.

The honey also helps bind this diy lip scrub and of course,

Note: I used vanilla in the scrub for scent and while I went with the real thing (well, the extract), you can of course use essential oils instead if you like.
