Nourishing, Refreshing Lemonade Sugar Lip Scrub Recipe

Nothing screams summer like a nice, cold lemonade…that and dry, chapped lips. That’s why I LOVE our homemade Lemonade Sugar Lip Scrub (hint, it’s even more refreshing and awesome when it’s been chilled in the fridge).

Lip scrubs are an amazing at-home spa treatment to give yourself.

Exfoliating your lips removes the dead cells and makes your lips moist and retains moisture longer. Our recipe also uses Vitamin E oil which has many skin benefits including slowing aging. Lips are wrinkly, don’t let them get more wrinkly!

In the past, I have purchased pretty pricey lip scrubs, but it is so simple to make your own in just a couple of minutes that there is no need to spend a lot of money or fret about exfoliating your lips.

All around, it’s a really nice summer treat, but it’s nice all year round – perfect for the extreme heat and perfect for the extreme cold!

Here’s what you need to make Homemade Lemonade Lip Sugar Scrub.

Ingredients for Homemade Lemonade Lip Sugar Scrub:

• • 6 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 4 Tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 6 drops lemon essential oil
  • 2 drops Vitamin E oil

Directions for Homemade Lemonade Lip Sugar Scrub:

1. In a small mixing bowl, add the sugar and coconut oil. Stir until well blended.
2. Add the lemon juice, essential oil and Vitamin E oil. Stir again until well incorporated.
3. Transfer to airtight container(s) and store up to 3 months.

How to use Homemade Lemonade Lip Sugar Scrub:

• Wet lips and generously apply the lemonade lip scrub to lips.
• Using a circular motion, gently massage lips. This will allow the sugar granules to exfoliate any dry or dead skin and the coconut oil to moisturize. The lemon scent will awaken and energize your senses.
• Rinse lips with warm water.
• Pat dry with wash cloth.
• Apply your favorite lip balm.

This recipe will produce enough scrub to fill too lip balm containers and enough for about 12 applications.

While this lip scrub does not need to be refrigerated, I highly recommend it as it tastes just like an icy cold lemonade on your lips when it is chilled and adds an extra element of refreshment to your lips too. ENJOY!!
