Homemade Sugar Lip Scrub

February 16, 2015 by Crafty Teacher Lady +

Ever since getting Invisalign I’ve been suffering from a mild case of chapped lips. After a fruitless attempt at purchasing an inexpensive exfoliant at the drug store, I decided to make my own! I adapted the recipe from this source.

Here’s what you’ll need to make your own Sugar Lip Scrub:

-3 tablespoons white granulated sugar
-1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
-3 drops peppermint extract
-2-3 drops of red food coloring
-Small container for storage

Mix everything together in a small bowl. You can play around with the type of oil and the type of extract you use but I chose olive oil and peppermint because they were readily available and relatively inexpensive compared to some of the other choices. I found the small plastic containers in the travel toiletry section at WalMart (2 for $1)…one batch of the scrub will fill two of these small containers. The scrub leaves my lips so soft and tastes yummy, too!!

We picked the best berries, then went home where my little sous chef practiced her fine motor skills by cutting the strawberries for homemade shortcake- my all time favorite dessert (and quickly becoming C’s favorite, too)! 🍓 

The last couple of months have been super challenging regarding some unexpected health challenges for me, resulting in an emergency surgery 4.5 weeks ago, and getting back to feeling good enough to go on outings like today was at the top of my priority-list! I felt good and had a wonderful time with my best little bud!! 🥰

Also shout out to @browdersfreshpickins for allowing us to pick all along the outside rows so that C could easily use her walker in the field!
