Everyone’s lips get a bit dry and flaky from time to time. This can happen for many reasons; too much sun, too much cold weather, sensitivity to products applied…

If you want to get more from your homemade lip scrub you can also warm a flannel and apply it to your lips for 5 minutes before scrubbing.

Design Your Own Lip Scrub

If you want to design your own lip scrub; jojoba oil, almond oil & castor oil don’t taste as strong as olive oil. You can experiment with different types of sugars, the ones with coarser grains will exfoliate deeper. You can also flavour your lip scrubs with essences instead of essential oils.

What NOT to Scrub Your Lips With

Many people use salt scrubs for their body and whilst salt is an excellent exfoliator, we wouldn’t suggest you use it on your lips, firstly it tastes horrible & secondly it can be too abrasive and leave your lips irritated.
