With cooler fall and winter weather, lips can start to get dry and chapped.  Sometimes, using balm just doesn’t do the trick.  Using a scrub is a great way to exfoliate your lips.  By removing dry, flaky skin, smoothing lines, and increasing blood flow,  it will leave your lips feeling deliciously soft and healthy.  My lip scrub recipe includes cinnamon essential oil because I happen to love cinnamon, but you can substitute any of your favorite essential oils.

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive OR coconut oil

1/2 teaspoon raw honey

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons fine granulated sugar

1-2 drops cinnamon essential oil

 

Directions:

Combine the oil, honey, vanilla extract and essential oil until well mixed.  Stir in the sugar until evenly combined.  Store in an airtight container.

 

To Use:

Apply to your lips and massage in small, circular motions.  Rinse well.  Use this 1-2 times a week for the best results.  The coconut or olive oil help protect against further chapping.  You will love how soft your lips feel! (Do not use on severely chapped or split lips). Needless to say, this recipe makes an awesome gift as well.  You can get creative and decorate cute containers for your homemade scrub.

 

How Long Does It Last?

This scrub will last for up to a year if you store it in a cool dark area, out of direct sunlight.  To ensure freshness, do not let any water get into the jar.  And don’t forget to label it!
