DIY Lavender Vanilla Lip Scrub Recipe
I have really dry skin, and as we know, the first step to moisturizing is exfoliating! This DIY sugar lip scrub is the best way to get soft lips and get rid of dead skin cells. Just follow the simple recipe to make your own homemade lip scrub – in fact, these make great gifts for the holiday season too!
The best thing you can do to get smooth lips is to use a sugar scrub to improve the blood flow, remove dead cells, and get healthy skin around the lips. We have found that homemade lip scrub works as well, if not better than expensive store bought beauty products.
Use a small dab of homemade lip scrub to rub onto your lips and then rinse off, repeating about once a week.

How to Make Lip Scrub Recipe
Ingredients Needed to Make a Moisturizing Lip Scrub
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons of grapeseed oil
- 1 teaspoon of coconut oil
- 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla
- 10 drops of lavender essential oil*
Ingredient Substitutions You Can Make with Lip Scrub Recipe
- Instead of brown sugar: We love using brown sugar in sugar scrub because it works so well, but if you don’t have any on hand you can substitute white sugar for the brown sugar.
- Instead of grapeseed oil: You can also try using olive oil or jojoba oil if you don’t have grapeseed oil.
- Instead of coconut oil: You can substitute shea butter instead of coconut oil.
- Add Vitamin E oil: For really cracked lips, you can add a capsule of vitamin e oil.
- Instead of the sugar: An alternative to sugar is coffee. If you like the smell of coffee, you can add coffee grounds as they are a natural exfoliant too – but it won’t taste as sweet!
*The Young Living Lavender oil is my favorite.
