Super Simple Lip Scrub | Quick and Easy Beauty DIY

August 22, 2017 by barb

This super simple lip scrub is a great Make and Take DIY beauty addition for smooth lips.

A few weeks ago I hosted a fabulous "Make and Take" Essential Oils party with some of my friends and we made up this super simple lip scrub for everyone to take home. Towards the end of Summer/beginning of Fall my lips are always a little dry and chapped. Enter this super simple, customizable lip scrub to help gently exfoliate the dry skin on my lips, making it easier to apply lip balms and the occasional lipstick smoothly. It's so easy that all of the 5 year old girls there made one for themselves! DIY LIP SCRUB INGREDIENTS List contains affiliate links! Sugar-Raw or Granulated-up to you.

peppermint mocha latte lip balm

I was needing a new flavor of lip balm when my friend Jillian started chatting on Facebook about how she was infusing her shea butter with coffee. What a great idea. Jillian's tastes are a little different than mine when it comes to lip balm ingredients though so I started playing around with how I could do this using my go-to ingredients and what I came up with is this amazing Peppermint Mocha Latte Lip Balm inspired by her original post. It tastes just like your local coffee shop with a lot less calories! Ingredients for Peppermint Mocha Latte Lip Balm *this post contains affiliate links.1 cup raw cocoa butter 4 tbsps organic course ground coffee (I used some my son had just brought back from Costa Rica :) ) 2 TBSP Fractionated Coconut Oil (this is the liquid kind) 1 heaping TBSP beeswax pellets (buying pellets is much easier than grating) Lip Balm containers - you can do tubes or tins (this recipe makes 5 1/2 ounce tins) Small crockpot for infusing Cheescloth for straining the coffee grounds Young Living Peppermint Essential Oil (get a GREAT deal on this and 10 other oils through the link)Directions for Peppermint Mocha Latte Lip ...

A Bit About Me…


I mostly pretend to be a Denver based blogger these days but the reality is closer to a busy mom of two incredible young adults. I run freelance social media campaigns for large and small companies in my free time.

Here I write about crafts, recipes, travel, special needs, social media, tech, family life and anything else that strikes my fancy. I am a bit of squirrel and you never know what you may find here from day to day. Hint: it somehow always seems to tie in my love for essential oils.

Can I Help You Find Something?

Lately, I’ve been blabbing on about…
