Super easy to make lip scrub yourself!

If you're looking for a DIY lip scrub, you've come to the right place! This is how easy it is to make your own lip scrub.

Regular peeling for the lips is a beauty treatment that you should treat yourself to. Well-groomed lips look attractive, they feel good and give us self-confidence.

And let's be honest: It simply looks anything but good when your lips are full of flakes of skin. Especially when you apply a lipstick.

However, the sun, the wind and dry air make our lips quite a mess.

Delicate lips turn into rough, dry and chapped lips. But that doesn't have to be the case if you use the right care.

You don't have to buy lip care. Making a lip scrub yourself is quite simple. It helps you to get well-groomed beautiful lips.

We all know peelings. But mostly only in the form of hand scrubs, scrubs for the face or scrubs for dry skin. But lip scrub?

Yes, why not? After all, we also peel our face, arms and legs. And some even the scalp.

So easy to make facial scrub itself

And a lip scrub really pays off! It makes the mouth beautifully supple, soft and nourishes dry and chapped skin.

What is a Lip Scrub?

A lip scrub is a product specially designed to care for your lips. It helps to remove dead skin cells from the lips and make them soft and supple.

A lip scrub consists of natural ingredients such as sugar, sea salt or ground grains that have a gentle exfoliating effect.

You simply massage a small amount of the Lip Scrub onto your lips to loosen the dead skin cells, and then rinse it off.

Your lips are then ready for further care, such as applying a lip balm.

Lip Scrubs can be purchased in stores or you can even make your own lip scrub at home.

Tip: In the book, The Glow - Naturkosmetik selber machen, you will find many great instructions for DIY cosmetic projects. From creams, shampoos, scrubs, oils you will find many step-by-step instructions with photos.

When I started to look into the subject, I stumbled across this book. It offers a lot of great instructions for beginners and also advanced. And for every skin and hair type. I can highly recommend it to you and regularly prepare natural cosmetics with the book myself.

What are the benefits of lip peeling?

A lip scrub, or lip exfoliant, has some great benefits for your lips. Here are the most important facts:

1. Removes dead skin cells: By using a lip scrub, you can gently remove dead skin cells from your lips. This will make your lips softer and smoother.
2. Improves the structure of the lips: With a lip scrub you can improve the texture of your lips. It smoothes rough spots and makes your lips more even.
3. Better absorption of care products: After exfoliation, your lips are ready to better absorb care products such as lip balm or lipstick. This allows the active ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin and intensively care for the lips.
4. Prevents dryness and cracking: Lip scrubs help prevent dryness and chapping. By removing dead skin cells, you prevent your lips from drying out and cracking.
5. Fresher look: Regular peeling gives your lips a fresher look. They look healthier, rosier and simply more attractive!

So, give it a try and treat your lips to the pampering lip scrub.

What ingredients do you need for a lip scrub?

Basically, there are three basic recipes for making your own lip scrub:

1. The sugar honey scrub
2. The honey oil scrub
3. and the salt scrub

For any lip scrub you always need a granular ingredient. Through circular movements with your fingers, this ingredient helps you to remove the dry skin flakes. For this purpose, use either sugar or salt.

Peeling with coconut oil for dry skin

You have to be careful with the salt. If you have injured and very chapped lips, the salt could cause a burning sensation. And that feels anything but good.

If this happens to you, wash off the Lip Scrub immediately with lukewarm water. Apply a soothing cream or Coconut oil* for maintenance.

In addition to salt or sugar, you need a nourishing vegetable oil to make your own lip scrub. Here you should make sure that it is high quality organic.

You can decide for yourself which oil to use for lip exfoliation. Almond oil*Olive oil, Avocado oil*, Coconut oil* are very suitable.

If you are interested in Coconut oil*, you must bear in mind that it solidifies at low temperatures. It is therefore ideal for gifts!

And then you can give your DIY lip scrub a special touch. This works best with essential oils. But use too little rather than too much. Essential oils can irritate the skin!

Those who wish can also enjoy a little Food coloring* and color the lip scrub a little. This does not have a nourishing effect, but makes it visually eye-catching!

If you need a little freshness boost after a long day, you've come to the right place. Because making your own lip scrub also works wonderfully with essential oils.

Salt has a more powerful exfoliating effect than sugar. Olive oil forms a protective barrier for the lips. Thus, they remain velvety soft for a long time after the peeling. In addition, olive oil contains antioxidants that slow down skin aging.

How to properly apply a lip scrub?

Very important: Go gently!

To apply, use either your fingers or a soft toothbrush. Make careful, circular movements and massage the scrub in gently.

Afterwards, simply rinse your lips with water.

Already after the first application you will feel an improvement.

The excess skin flakes are simply peeled away. Your lip is soft, supple, well supplied with blood and thus appears fuller.

If you want to apply a care product, you should do it right after the peeling. Now the skin absorbs creams particularly well.

It is best to always make only as much scrub as you consume in 1-2x. Otherwise it can happen that the sugar or salt dissolve in the oil. And the peeling effect for the lips is gone!

How long does a lip scrub need to work?

The application time for a lip scrub is actually not too long. You can easily incorporate it into your beauty routine. Here are a few important facts about it:

1. Short exposure time: For an effective result, it is often enough to gently massage the lip scrub on the lips for about 1-2 minutes. This removes dead skin cells and softens the lips.
2. Gently massage in: During the application time, you can gently apply the lip scrub to your lips with your fingertips in circular motions. Be careful not to rub too hard to avoid irritation.
3. Thorough washing up: After the application time, rinse the lip scrub thoroughly with lukewarm water. You can also use a damp cloth to remove the residue.
4. Do not forget care: After exfoliation, it is important to pamper your lips with a moisturizing lip balm. This way, they are optimally cared for and protected from drying out.
