*If you’d like a little more information on making your own homemade lip scrub, a Video Tutorial is provided at the end of this post*

Oh winter… how you dry out my skin. Every day I’m applying lotions and lip balms and face moisturizer… but recently I tried a DIY lip scrub, and I absolutely love it! I played around with this recipe a lot because I wanted to get the consistency and texture just right. I finally got there, and I’m sharing the recipe with you 🙂

Here’s What You’ll Need to Make Your Lip Scrub

  • Coconut Oil (Solid at room temperature)
  • Almond Oil
  • Essential Oil- I used Frankincense. (Not sure where to buy essential oils? Check out this post.)
  • Sugar (You can use brown sugar or regular granulated sugar. I’ll discuss the difference as we make the recipe.)
  • Honey
  • Lip Balm Tins


The oils provide a moisturizing quality. The sugar helps to exfoliate. And the essential oil is added for extra skin support.

Directions For Making DIY Lip Scrub

The recipe below is for one tin-full of the lip scrub.

Start by melting 1 teaspoon of coconut oil in a small bowl. You can do this in the microwave; just warm for 10-15 seconds.

Add in 1/2 teaspoon of almond oil and 2 drops Frankincense essential oil. Stir.

You are welcome to switch the essential oil you use, just know that it is highly likely that you’ll get a little in your mouth, so work with oils that are safe for internal use, which should be noted on the bottle.

Once all your oils are mixed, add in 5 teaspoons of sugar, and mix. Brown sugar is a little smoother, making application is a bit easier. Granulated white sugar is more coarse and works a little better for exfoliating.

Lastly, add in 1/4 teaspoon of honey. This helps to create a pliable consistency for easier application.

Add your lip scrub to a small lip balm tin. When ready to use, apply a small amount to your finger and scrub it into your lips for 30-60 seconds. I would recommend doing this over a sink as it’s a little messy. Rinse off with warm water.
