7 Easy to Prepare Lip Scrub Recipes for the Perfect Pout Look
One thing I always say is that buying a lip scrub is a wastage of money. And this is the reason why I have never compiled the best lip scrub in India.
Just like a body scrub, you can easily prepare a lip scrub at home. Dermatologists say that our lips are the driest part of our bodies. It happens as the water content is low in that facial area. So, lips get parched easily. And thus, special care is needed for these tender babies.
If your lips are already dried and patchy, it would not help you much if you keep rubbing lip balms. You need a mild moisturizing exfoliation to start with. So, let’s start treating those chapped lips.
1. Coffee Espresso for Your Lips
Coffee grounds are amazing to take away dead cells. Check out how wisely you can use coffee powder to treat chapped lips.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon ground coffee
- One tablespoon almond oil/extra virgin coconut oil
- 1 drop of lemon essential oil (optional)
Method of Preparation
- Take a bowl and mix all these ingredients.
- Do not add water in this recipe, otherwise, the coffee would melt down. We need a scrubby texture for exfoliation.
