Exfoliate dry lips, bringing out their natural, healthy glow with this DIY brown sugar lip scrub. It’s super simple to make and makes a nice holiday gift or stocking stuffer.
Why make a homemade lip scrub?
Dry lips can also benefit from a gentle exfoliation using a lip scrub.
Save money
You could, of course, buy a lip or body sugar scrub. But why would you want to spend money on a product that has such simple, inexpensive ingredients.
Choose the ingredients
When you make your own lip scrub, not only can you save money, but you can also control what goes into it. You can choose the quality of the oils and the other ingredients. And, you can avoid questionable or unwanted ingredients.
The product I linked to above has “fragrance” (an unknown chemical mixture), along with some other ingredients that I wouldn’t normally choose to use in a homemade product.
Plus, you can customize your recipe however you like! You can make a thinner or more solid polish. You can add a fragrance or leave it unscented. You can make it as abrasive or as gentle as you like!
Which sugar should you use?
Sugars is a natural humectant, making it ideal for helping restore moisture into dry skin. It also has the abrasiveness necessary for exfoliating away dead skin cells.
When making a DIY sugar lip scrub, brown sugar is a great choice. Brown sugar generally has smaller, rounder crystals that are less abrasive than those of white sugar. That’s why brown sugar lip scrubs tend to be much gentler on the lips.
For body scrubs, you can use salt, regular white sugar, a finer caster sugar, or brown sugar, depending on the sensitivity of your skin. (I listed those in the order of most to least abrasive.) The salt will be the most abrasive, followed by regular white sugar. With any of the options, the crystals round off as they dissolve during use (if used with water). So, all are generally quite safe to use. Read More………….
