Revive your lips with this simple yet effective lip scrub 💋💋💋
Natural oils with a kick of cinnamon and peppermint not only help to remove dead skin; they also help give those lips of yours a little plump!
This recipe filled a 1 ounce tin container which you can see in my short video! So, if you are doing this as gifts and not just for yourself, feel free to triple the recipe.

- Prep Time: 2 minutes
- Total Time: 5 minutes
- Yield: 1 oz 1x
- Category: Health and Beauty
- Method: DIY
- Cuisine: N/A
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons organic brown sugar (doesn’t have to be organic)
- 1/4 teaspoon organic cinnamon powder (doesn’t have to be organic and you can also use cinnamon oil)
- 1 tablespoon pure unrefined Jojoba oil
- 1 teaspoon vitamin E
- 6–10 drops peppermint oil – highly recommend this one for lip scrubs
Instructions
- Combine organic brown sugar and cinnamon powder
- Mix in jojoba oil and get out any major clumps
- Add vitamin E and 6-10 drops essential oil of your choice (this is optional )
- Combine the ingredients until all the oils have completely mixed in and coated the sugar.
- Spoon into tin containers or glass containers and store in a cool place. I recommend not using your fingers when using this scrub and using either a q-tip or beauty spatula. That way you are not introducing any bacteria into your beauteous scrub and the shelf life will be longer!
Notes
I would use this up within a couple of months. When we make preservative free products we need to accept that the shelf life will not be as long.
Due to the cinnamon and peppermint you will notice a slight tingle. These 2 ingredients are what cause the plumping effect for the most part. The truth is, cinnamon and peppermint mildly irritate your lips as well as increase circulation causing a minor swelling effect. If this is something that does not appeal to you then feel free to cross those ingredients off your list and just make the scrub plain. Nothing wrong with that!
