I finished my pot recently and instead of shelling out $9 for another little tub, I headed in to my kitchen. Sweet Lips is basically oil, sugar, and cocoa flavoring....all things I have in my kitchen. I decided to skip the flavoring, but here is how I made my own do-it-yourself (DIY) lip scrub:
1. Pour olive oil into the palm of my hand:
2. Add some white sugar and mix:
3. Apply to lips and scrub a dub dub:
My DIY version was just as effective as the Lush scrub, and 100% natural. There are so many variations you can do:
- Use coconut oil, almond oil, or any other oil of your preference
- Store the scrub in a little tub and keep it ready for anytime use
- Use brown sugar or salt for different sized granules
- Add cocoa powder or another flavoring
My lips are as smooth as ever and I have a few more bucks to spend on a lip product to apply to those smooth lips. =)
