Vanilla Coconut Mint Lip Scrub

One thing that really gets to me about winter (besides the cold, I am not a fan!) is how dry my lips get during this season. My poor daughter gets them so dry that she actually has them cracking! The combination between the wind, the cold and licking them to keep them moist leads to so many issues and although I use lots of lip balm, I sometimes still find them in a not so smooth condition.

There are lots of lip scrubs on the market, but I thought to myself that these couldn’t be that hard to make and I was right! They only require 4 simple ingredients and you can make them in just 5 minutes. What is also great about these is they harden over time so they are pretty shelf stable for at least the winter season.

This Vanilla Coconut Mint Lip Scrub is perfect for stocking stuffers, too. What are you waiting for? Let’s make some lip scrub!

Vanilla Coconut Mint Lip Scrub

You will need:

1/4 C. Coconut Oil

1/4 Cup White Sugar

1 1/2 tsp Real Vanilla Extract (my recipe for making your own can be found here)

10 Drops of Peppermint Essential Oil

1. Melt the coconut oil for 15-20 seconds in the microwave.

2. Add sugar to a bowl and pour over the coconut oil. Mix well with your hands.

3. add vanilla extract and 10 drops of peppermint essential oil. Mix well. Place in small tins like the ones I have. I got them from my local co-op or you can buy small metal tins from Amazon, too.

Use your lip scrub by just taking a little bit on an old toothbrush and gently scrubbing your lips in a circular motion. Pop on some lip balm afterwards and your lips will be silky smooth!
