Steps: DIY Lip Scrub with Honey and Lemon
1- Begin by placing 1/2 cup of sugar (approx. 100 grams or 3.5 ounces) in a bowl.
2- Add 1 teaspoon of natural honey.
3- Add 3 tablespoons of olive oil.
4- Blend the ingredients thoroughly using a spoon or small spatula.
5- Squeeze some fresh lemon juice into the mixture: This adds a natural brightening effect and a refreshing touch, enhancing the scrub’s exfoliating benefits.
6- Mix the ingredients again to ensure they’re well combined.
7- Add just 1 drop of red liquid food coloring.
8- Stir the color into the mixture thoroughly until it is uniformly blended.
9- Scoop the scrub into a small glass container with a cap or seal. This will keep your scrub fresh and ready for use.
10- Your DIY Lip Scrub with Honey and Lemon is now ready to use.
Tip: If you notice the scrub drying out over time, simply add a bit more olive oil and mix well. This will restore its smooth, hydrating texture and keep it effective for your lip care routine.
Note: Essential oils are not recommended for use in lip scrubs due to their potency and potential irritation.
