This homemade mint lemonade lip scrub is full of beneficial ingredients! Sugar is a common base used in scrubs because it’s a natural skin exfoliant. Almond oil moisturizes and plumps up the skin. Lemon essential oil has a sharp, citrus scent and is widely used for its cleansing and invigorating properties. And peppermint essential oil is full of antibacterial properties, along with giving you a quick pick-me-up with its sharp, refreshing scent!

Mint Lemonade Lip Scrub

This recipe will make enough mint lemonade lip scrub to fill 2 small lip balm containers.

Ingredients

6 Tablespoons granulated sugar
4 Tablespoons almond oil
8-10 drops lemon essential oil
4-5 drops peppermint essential oil
2 drops Vitamin E oil (optional)
1 drop yellow food gel (optional)

Directions

1. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and almond oil together.

2. Add the lemon and peppermint essential oils. Stir until well blended.

3. Optional: add the Vitamin E drops and color gel and mix well. The lemon essential oil has a yellow tint to it, so your lip scrub will be a light yellow, naturally. But if you want the color to be a bit darker, add the color gel.

4. Transfer to an airtight container(s) and store up to 3 months.

How to Use

1. Wet lips with warm water and apply the mint lemonade lip scrub.
2. Gently rub lips in a circular motion to allow the sugar to exfoliate and the almond oil to moisturize.
3. Rinse with warm water and pat dry with a towel.
4. Apply your favorite lip balm moisturizer. I like to use my homemade lip balm!
