Chamomile and Mint DIY Lip Scrub EASY Formula

Have you ever used a sugar scrub on your lips?
I resisted this for so many years, and now I try to do at least one scrub each week. Here's why:
🌱 They gently exfoliate the lips and remove dry, dead skin. This gives you softer, smoother, more lovely lips!
🌼 Lip scrubs help prevent chapping and peeling, which left without treatment, can become cracked and painful lips.
🌿 Guess what else? They improve the absorption of lip balms, treatments, and help your lipstick (if you wear it) stay on.
🌸 Scrubbing your lips regularly can also help minimize the appearance of fine lines and...
🌱 Prepare lips to lock in much needed moisture in these fall months
Finally, you get to feel a little pampered, VERY quickly and easily, which can really be a nice reset for your mind and emotions!
Sugar lip scrubs make the sweetest (literally) personalized gifts too! You can make them quickly, and it’s so easy to find beautiful little jars to put the product in. I love little hex jars that hold about an ounce.
Here’s the formula for Chamomile Mint Lip Scrubs:
Ingredients:
2 tbsp almond or sunflower oil
1 tbsp dried calendula, chamomile, or lavender flowers (optional)
1 drop Roman chamomile essential oil
1 drop Spearmint essential oil
2 tbsp fine brown, organic cane, or other natural granulated sugar
Directions:
If you want to infuse your dried herbs into the oil, just place the herbs in a small jar and add the oil plus an additional teaspoon or so to the jar. Let it infuse for about 3 to 4 weeks. If you already have your herbal-infused oil ready, you can just use this!
In a small jar, combine the sugar, infused (or not) oil, and the essential oils. You may want to do this step in a bowl, then transfer to a small jar for ease. The essential oils must be completely dispersed, so you'll need to stir for a few minutes to be sure this is done well.
To Use:
Take a bit, and rub this over your lips with a finger. The skin on your lips is very thin and fragile, so be light-handed at first. You'll quickly know how firm you need to press.
Although everything in this formula is edible, it's not meant to be consumed, so be sure to wash off the scrub completely...even though it smells and tastes amazing! (It won't hurt you if a small amount gets into your mouth--just allaying worries.)
Rinse the scrub off with a bit of warm water, and follow up with a natural lip balm. Enjoy your lovely lips!
