Homemade Pineapple Orange Lip Scrub

March 10, 2015 by Jo 5 Comments

I end up with dry lips several times a year. No fun! And if I don’t treat them, I quickly develop the bad habit of biting my lips to get the dead skin off. Yuck, right?

One of my favorite ways to help heal and prevent chapped lips is by using a lip scrub. Scrubs are a great way to exfoliate and smooth the top layer of our skin and lips. I enjoy making my own sugar scrubs for this purpose.

Today I wanted to share an easy DIY lip scrub recipe that you can make at home. And my favorite part, it contains all natural ingredients.

Homemade Lip Scrub: Pineapple Orange

Pineapple Orange DIY Lip Scrub

This recipe will make enough pineapple orange lip scrub to fill 2 small lip balm containers:

INGREDIENTS

  • 6 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 Tablespoon pineapple purée
  • 5-6 drops sweet orange essential oil
  • 1/8 teaspoon pineapple flavoring or 5-6 drops pineapple essential oil
  • 2 drops Vitamin E oil (optional)

DIRECTIONS

1.  Purée 1 tablespoon of crushed pineapple in a food processor. Set aside.
2.  In a small mixing bowl, add the sugar and coconut oil. Stir until well blended.
3.  Add the puréed pineapple and mix.
4.  Add the essential oils and vitamin E oil and stir until mixed well.
5.  Transfer to an airtight container(s) and store in the refrigerator up to one week.

NOTE: If you want the lip scrub to last longer and don’t want to refrigerate it, leave out the pineapple purée and increase the pineapple flavoring to 1/4 teaspoon. You also might want to consider this if you are giving it as a gift.
