Homemade Lip Scrub

I have a wonderful, easy recipe for a homemade lip scrub.  Lip scrubs are used for exfoliating the lips, making them softer and smoother (which many of us want in order to be ready for those red lips we'll be sporting for the holidays).  For this recipe, I chose peppermint food flavoring which is perfect for the upcoming holidays.  You can, of course, use other flavors as well.

The ingredients:

1 tbsp. granulated sugar

2 drops of peppermint flavor

1 drop of red food coloring

1 tsp. coconut oil

 

The process:

Simple!!  Basically, mix all ingredients and store in a lidded container.  Mix carefully and do not over mix as this can dissolve the sugar.  I will usually add the sugar last, until the other ingredients are mixed together, in order to avoid over mixing the sugar.

Happy lip scrubbing!
