Simple DIY Honey Sugar Lip Scrub
Combining honey, sugar, and almond oil will hydrate and exfoliate the dead skin on your lips.

For an easy lip scrub recipe, you need the following ingredients:

- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon almond oil
Make a paste by mixing all the ingredients in a small bowl. Apply it to your lips and gently massage using your fingertips for a couple of minutes. Simply rinse your lips with warm water and then apply your regular lip balm. If there is any leftover, you can store it in a small container.

Custom Honey Lip Scrub Formula Recipe
- Add one teaspoon of honey
Honey is one of the best skin care natural remedies that can heal your lips. Honey soothes dry, chapped lips by pulling moisture from the air and depositing it into the skin. Additionally, it has a substantial number of antioxidants and nourishing nutrients and has a mild antiseptic effect that speeds the healing process of any skin condition, minor burns or cuts.
- Add two teaspoons of sugar
For your beauty routine, sugar is not off-limits like it is in your diet. All the ingredients for sugar body scrubs are already in your pantry and It’s cheap and easy to make. As a bonus, sugar is gentle enough to polish sensitive areas like the lips and face. You can make several sugar scrubs from different sugar grain sizes to apply variant levels of exfoliation to your lips according to your needs.
- Add one teaspoon of carrier oil
Add a little carrier oil to hydrate and moisturise your lips. Because you only need a tiny bit, stick with oil you already have on hand.
- Jojoba oil
- Olive oil
- Almond oil
- Coconut oil
Optional Extra Add-Ins
Keeping it simple with honey and sugar gives you great results, but sometimes you want to be a little more experimental. The following ideas will take your scrub to the next level:
- Adding cinnamon or cayenne to your lip treatment will naturally plump them. To begin, use a little because it is easy to overdo it, resulting in irritated lips.
- To prevent cracked lips, you can open a vitamin E capsule and incorporate it into the scrub.
- Cocoa powder will add antioxidants and chocolate flavour to the scrub.
- Put mashed strawberries in there, and they will polish lips naturally with citric acid and sugar. As a bonus, you will get a dose of vitamin C to combat signs of ageing on your lips. We would not recommend this if you had cracks in your lips because the citric acid will irritate them.
- If you have a PSL craving (pumpkin spice latte) you can add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice.
- Add a little vanilla extract to make your scrub extra delicious.
Tips For Using Lip Scrubs

- Apply a small amount of scrub to your fingertips, then gently massage the scrub into the lips.
- Use circular strokes to massage your lips, paying attention to rough or flaky areas.
- Apply face oil or lip balm to keep moisture locked in the lips.
