How to: A Simple Sugar Scrub for Luscious Lips

December 25th, 2009 by Karen 20 Comments

Written by Jessica of Picturesque Makeup

Today Jessica of Picturesque Makeup shares a delicious DIY lip exfoliator that costs next to nothing to do.

Hereโ€™s a quick and simple sugar scrub to soften dry/flakey lips:

  1. Load some lip balm (a smooth one, not sticky โ€” I prefer Rosebud Strawberry Lip Balm) onto one of your fingers.
  2. Dip the finger into some plain old granulated white sugar (keep a small jar for beauty purposes in your vanity).
  3. Rub the sugar balm mix all over your lips to exfoliate, wiping clean with a tissue.

Itโ€™s a great (and great tasting) alternative to more expensive lip scrubs and takes practically no time at all. ๐Ÿ™‚ Do it before bed, and then slap on a little more lip balm for lusciously soft lips the following morning.

    you can also replace the balm with pure honey. besides acting as a lip balm, honey can also make your lips turn more pinky!

      ive only tried the regular rosebud salve (i did even know other variations exist) but yes, it is
      awesome!

    Sugar is a simple and effect way to exfoliate. I use sugar and orange oil for my hands, but I will put this tip to good use for my dry chapped lips during the winter.

    keep a small jar for beauty purposes in your vanity –> best tip. Because I find myself too lazy to dip into the sugar jar in the kitchen. I don’t know why.

    Yummy! Thank you, tastes great, works better. Except I just licked the sugar off my lips rather than wiping it off with a tissue…

    Considering that my fave skin exfoliator is lemon juice and raw sugar, I think this suggestion sounds great – I must try it!
