LIP SCRUB
During the summer we always want to make sure our legs are smooth, are arms are smooth but what about our lips?! I know I didn’t exfoliate my lips as much as I should, that was until I started making my own lip scrubs.
Lip scrubs are super easy to make and are a great afternoon craft for the kids. My boys love mushing the sugar and coconut oil in their fingers. It’s really affordable too! I get the containers I keep my lip scrubs in from Dollar Tree (you can get a 10 pack for $1), and I have the sugar, coconut oil and Kool-Aid already in my pantry.
Lip scrubs also make great gifts! I made these Cherry Limeade Lip Scrubs for the aids at my son’s school for Teacher Appreciation Week and I made extra of these Watermelon Lip Scrubs and plan on giving them to a few girlfriends.
DIY LIP SCRUB
You can customize these lip scrub recipes to whatever flavor you’d like. If you’re making a large batch (more than 1 cup of sugar), you may want to add a few drops of flavor oil (I use LorAnn flavor oils that you can get off Amazon, Walmart or any hobby store). This batch made 3 containers full and the scent and flavor of Watermelon was perfect!
LIP SCRUB RECIPE
To use these lip scrubs, get a pinch out of the container and rub across your lips. Then rub your lips together for 15 seconds or so and then blot with a wet washcloth. The sugar will help remove any dead skin you have on your lips while the coconut oil leaves your lips feeling silky smooth. I keep a container of these lip scrubs by the sink in my bathroom and use it twice a day after I brush my teeth.

Beautiful! Where can I get those containers?
Estele- You could get them on Amazon. I bet even the Dollar Store would have some that may work too.
Is it liquid coconut oil? Or is it the firmer stuff in a jar? wasn’t totally sure and didn’t want to accidentally get the wrong kind.
Thank you
Bea-Liquid Coconut Oil works great.
Watermelon Kool Aid is already mixed with water? Or I use it as it is?
Elena- You just use the dry powder mix for this recipe.
For the coconut oil. Do I use the coconut liquid oil or the tub that’s kinda of a harder consistency?
Thanks!
Rosita- Liquid coconut oil works best. Great question.
What size are you’re lip scrub containers? I’m trying to decide which to buy???
Tammy- They are about 2 inches deep and across.
How long can you store this?
Karen- Up to a couple of months in an airtight container. Thanks and enjoy!
Doesn’t the Kool aid stain your lips and fingers??
Susan- It tints them a little, but not too bad!
can we substitute kool aid with any powder mix?
I would think that would work just as well.
Wonder if I could use actual watermelon instead of kool-aid🤔🤔
Heather- Not sure how that would work? Might be too runny. If you try it, let me know how it turns out. I am curious.
Sweetened or sugar free kool-ade?
Sweetened or sugar free would work. You are adding sugar to it, so I guess in the end it would not be sugar free.
Mmm..the smell alone is so good!! I love using lip scrubs. I know a lot of girls that would love this!
Natalie- I know! Its smell fantastic!
My girls are all over this!! And, I am too, if it means they can each have their own & stay out of mine! This makes my lips so soft!
Kristyn- It really does make your lips so soft! We love it!
