DIY Lip Exfoliating Scrubs: Attaining lusciously soft, supple and rosy lips demands a diligent lip care regimen with exfoliation playing a vital role in removing dead skin cells and revealing a smoother lip texture. Exfoliating your lips helps remove dead skin cells and reveals brighter and clearer skin. This process makes your lips softer, more supple and even appear plumper. Exfoliation is especially beneficial for dry, flaky and chapped lips, thereby helping to reduce lip pigmentation.
But you don't need to search for any expensive lip exfoliator from the market; instead, you can create your own lip scrubs using natural ingredients. Here, we've compiled some DIY lip scrubs that you can try to achieve healthier, pink and luscious lips.
Homemade Lip Scrubs
Coffee And Olive Oil
Create a nourishing lip scrub by combining coffee and olive oil. Coffee gently exfoliates and deep cleanses pores while olive oil's moisturising properties soften and nourish lips. Mix one tbsp of coffee with one tbsp of olive oil and apply to your lips. Gently exfoliate for 2-3 minutes to get soft and plump lips.
Honey And Sugar
To prepare this DIY scrub, mix one tbsp of honey with one tbsp of sugar to create a nourishing scrub. Gently rub the mixture on your lips for around 3-4 minutes until the sugar granules melt to remove dry and flaky skin.
Sugar And Lemon
To make this refreshing sugar and lemon juice scrub, combine one tbsp of sugar with one tablespoon of lemon juice to create a natural brightening blend. Gently massage the mixture in a circular motion for a few minutes to get rid of lip pigmentation.

Cocoa Powder And Almond Oil
Make a luxurious lip treatment with cocoa powder and almond oil scrub. Blend one tbsp of cocoa powder, a gentle yet effective exfoliant with one tbsp of almond oil, rich in nourishing vitamin E. Massage on your lips for 5 minutes to uncover soft, hydrated and plump lips that feel velvety smooth and look irresistibly luscious.
Rose Petals And Milk
Brighten and lighten your lips with a rose petal and milk scrub. Soak 5-6 rose petals in 1 tbsp of milk for 10 minutes, then mash into a paste. Gently scrub your lips and wash after 5 minutes. Rose petals' natural brightening properties and milk's lightening effects work together to reveal more radiant lips.
