How do I use homemade lip scrub?
Take some lip scrub on your finger and apply it to clean lips. Be gentle and rub it on your lips in a circular motion. Make sure you don’t scrub too hard or for too long. When you’re finished, you can leave it on your lips for 5 – 10 minutes (for extra moisturizing power), or rinse it off right away with warm (not hot!) water. Make sure to apply a lip balm afterwards to seal in the moisture.
How often can I use my DIY lip scrub?
It’s recommended that you use a lip scrub no more than 1 – 2 times a week. Start with once per week as you get your lips used to the exfoliation.
How should I store my sugar lip scrub?
We put our lip scrub in small 1 ounce tins. You could also store the lip scrub in little plastic pots or small glass jars. Stored at room temperature, the sugar scrub should stay good for around 2 – 3 months. Larger batches can be kept in the fridge for up to 6 months.
What kind of sugar is best in a lip scrub recipe?
Brown sugar is the best sugar for lip scrubs. It’s softer and less abrasive than other types of sugar because of its smaller crystals. You can also use regular white sugar, but you’ll need to be more gentle when scrubbing.
