Start by gently washing your lemon, using an organic fruit wash if possible. Then, use a grater to shave the rind off the lemon. Take a small bowl and mix the shaved lemon rinds with about a teaspoon of sugar.
Add a teaspoon of coconut oil and squeeze in a little lemon juice. Mix everything together and put it in a small jar with an airtight lid. A mini jam jar works well for this. Keep the jar in a cool place or in the refrigerator to make the application cool when you use it.
When using the lip scrub, gently apply a small amount to your lips and rub it in, making sure to cover all dry spots.
After using the scrub, apply a lip balm to help with dryness. You can keep the lip scrub for about a week, but always make sure to store it in a cool place or in the refrigerator. This lip scrub is simple, refreshing, and smells amazing!
Do you take good care of your lips? I have found that a simple lip scrub routine helps to keep my lips smooth. Especially during the colder months, I make sure to use a gentle lip scrub and a nice lip balm. Do you have a go-to lip care routine? If so, I would love to hear about it!

I never thought about doing a lip scrub, but this sounds really easy! Do you do it year-round or just in the colder months when lips start to chap?
ReplyDeleteI do it all year around, but more so during the colder weather. It helps out so much! Thanks for stopping by. :)
DeleteMy lips get so dry, especially during winter. I’ve never tried a lip scrub but I’ll give this a go.
ReplyDeleteKelly, it really does help keep lips smooth! Hope you enjoy it. :)
DeleteOMG! I just discovered your page. This is a great thing to start with because I was looking for some DIY scrubs. Will definitely try this.
ReplyDeleteJasmine, thank you! Let me know how you like it. :)
DeleteWell this will be something I'll be passing on to my 16 year old for sure. She is always concocting some sort of scrub in the kitchen. Seems easy to do and worthwhile.
ReplyDeleteScott, I think she will enjoy it! Thanks so much for stopping by.
DeleteI love this. All natural is most certainly better where you can do this so thank you and will be giving this a go x
ReplyDeleteMelanie, aw thank you. Yes it really works, and feels great when applying. :)
DeleteMy husband and I just did foot soaks/scrubs and a face mask earlier! With no internet, it just made sense to take a bit of time and pamper our skin. This lip scrub sounds like a perfect addition the next time we do it. I have all of the ingredients to make it too!
ReplyDeleteWith the winter on the way this would become s necessity soon. Nice product to keep handy.
