As soon as I spend anytime outside in the winter, I get dry lips. Even if I am slapping lip balm on religiously, I still end up with a few dry spots or chapping. No fun. This simple brown sugar lip scrub can help to remove the dead skin and moisturize your lips. And, you might have all the ingredients in your kitchen right now!
BROWN SUGAR LIP SCRUB
How Do You Make Brown Sugar Lip Scrub?
Watch this super quick video to see how I made this exfoliating scrub. Be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel, if you aren’t already. I release two new videos every week!

To make a batch of this lip scrub, combine 1 part honey, 1 part melted coconut oil, and 1 part brown sugar into a small bowl. Begin by mixing the ingredients together as well as you can. The coconut oil won’t want to play nicely with the other ingredients, but that’s okay. Place the bowl in the fridge for a few minutes to help the oil solidify a bit.
Take the bowl out of the fridge and keep mixing with a fork. You can see that the oil is solidifying and turning white.
You can stop mixing when the scrub looks like this. It should have the same consistency as when you cream butter and sugar for cookie dough.
How Do You Store Homemade Lip Scrub?
You will want to store the lip scrub in a jar with a secure lid. If the temp gets above 76 degrees, the oil will start to melt and that could get messy. You can buy small lip pots online or you can thoroughly clean out an old makeup jar.
How Do You Use Lip Scrub?
To use, take a very small amount of the scrub and place it on your lips. Rub the scrub in small circles all over your lips. Your body heat will cause the oil to melt into your skin as the brown sugar exfoliates any dead skin cells. Rinse the scrub off (don’t wipe super hard or you will wipe off the oil!) and enjoy your soft smooth kisser!

I love this recipe but i don’t see the measurements of how much you use of each ingredients. Do you have this by chance?
Since you are just using equal parts of honey, sugar, and oil, it all depends on how much scrub you would like to make. If you want 1 cup of lip scrub, you would mix together 1/3 cup honey, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and 1/3 cup coconut oil.
1part each means if you use 1tablespoon of brown sugar you use the same amount of the other ingredients.
How will this scrub keep?
If you keep it refrigerated, it should keep for quite a while. If kept at room temp, I would just keep an eye for signs of deterioration after a week or two.
Jessica I made the lip scrub with coconut oil honey and brown sugar. I didn’t have dark brown sugar so I use light brown sugar so I hope it works just as well. I was going to post a picture but I don’t know how to but thank you for the super easy recipe! It will definitely come in handy because my lips stay dry.
Light brown sugar will work just as well! Thanks so much for the kind comment!
