Like your hair, your lips can have a bad day too.

And, on any such day, some lip TLC can do wonders to make your pout look and feel awesome.

Lip scrubs-homemade and store-bought- are an essential part of lip care. In today’s article, we will share how you can whip up your own lip scrub (homemade) in a jiffy.

 

But, why do you even need a lip scrub?

When it comes to lip care, the first step is to exfoliate. With exfoliation, you can get rid of dried skin and dead skin cells. When done correctly, lip exfoliation will leave you with soft and smooth lips ready to soak in the moisture and replenish.

You don’t need to spend a ton on lip scrubs. You can easily DIY one from natural ingredients available in your kitchen.

 

The Cardinal Rules for DIYing Lip Scrub (homemade)

There are two things that you need for making a lip scrub:

  1. Exfoliant (Physical or chemical)—to scrub your lips and remove the dead skin cells.
  2. Emollient or Oil or Fatty Acids—to provide hydration.
  3. (Optional) Natural irritants—to provide a plumping effect.

When making your own lip scrub, make sure that you use a gentle exfoliant that is not harsh for the sensitive skin on your lips.
