Vanilla + Coconut DIY Lip Scrub

By Rebekah 34 Comments

An easy vanilla and coconut diy lip scrub recipe.Affiliate links are used in this article.

In the past few weeks, combating my chronically chapped lips had become a full-time job. I had a whole arsenal of lip treatments including a chapstick in every coat pocket, purse, diaper bag I own. Even with all that, it was a constant battle to keep my painfully dry lips hydrated.

That is until I discovered this little secret…

The key to getting rid of dry, chapped lips is to first exfoliate and then apply moisture.

While there are many options for exfoliating lips scrubs available for purchase, making your own is incredibly easy. Bonus – this recipe uses all natural ingredients and tastes great!

DIY Lip Scrub Recipe

What you’ll need:

  • Small containers (niceEshop 50 Pieces Travel Cosmetic Sample Containers 5 Gram Plastic Pot Jars)
  • Sugar
  • Coconut Oil (Carrington Farms Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, 54 Ounce)
  • Vanilla Extract

Recipe:

  1. Mix equal parts sugar and coconut oil.
  2. Add in a few drops of vanilla extract at a time until you reach desired concentration.
  3. Spoon mixture into containers, pat down.

I have been using this scrub every other day for a week now, and my lips appear noticeably healthier. My favorite part? I am not reaching for the lip balm every other minute!

Makes a Great Valentine’s Day Gift

I am planning on mixing up a batch of lip scrubs for Valentines day gifts. This past weekend, I put together a couple samples, and I love how they turned out! I wrapped the jars in tulle and tied them with a red and white polka dotted ribbon. They are so adorable, and will make a perfect Valentine’s Day beauty treat!

Do struggle with constantly dry, chapped lips as well? Have you ever tried a lip scrub?

        As much as you want as long as the amount of sugar and coconut oil are the same.

    Popping over from Totally Terrific Tuesday on Sparkles of Sunshine =) How fun! I use lip scrubs from LUSH, popcorn flavor to be exact. How long does this last? Spoilage wise? Be sure to share your crafts & DIYs at Two Uses Tuesday (Mon 11pm EST to Fri 11pm EST) over at Sarah Celebrates if you don’t already!

    Do you have to melt the coconut oil first to liquidfy it or do you use it in its solid form? Thank you

      Great question Suzanne! I placed the jar of oil in warm water for a few minutes. It makes it much easier to mix into the sugar.

    I LOVE lip scrubs but this is the first I have seen with coconut! I am going to make this – we love coconut here in this household. Lip scrubs are a fun winter day or rainy day project with my young adult daughter. Thank you for sharing this with us!

    I just used a lip scrub for the first time last year and became addicted. Now if only I could adapt this to help smooth my heals I’d be in heaven!

    Exfoliating first makes sense it works for every other part of our bodies. Thank you for the tip and the recipe! I can’t wait to try them both.

    I think your prototype looks lovely and will make a nice gift. My daughter gets terribly chapped lips when the temperatures drop and I have never thought of getting her to use a scrub.

    If I can get hold of some coconut oil (something I’ve been meaning to do for some time now), I’ll make some up for her to try.

    Thank you for sharing this post.
