Exfoliation is key when it comes to getting healthy, nourished lips to form a good base for vibrant summer lip makeup. Sun-ravaged lips, however, can be left feeling a little worse for wear.
We recommend coconut oil as the perfect base for an edible beauty makeup lip scrub — an organic and natural skincare solution for chapped-skin woes! Before you swipe on our Liht Organics fully vegan, organic and natural coconut oil-infused Color-Intense Liquid Lipstick or Moisture Burst Lip Glaze, treat your lips to a double dose of this organic ingredient in a lip scrub for the perfect pucker!
Filled with no harmful chemicals, whip up these 3 DIY organic and natural Coconut Oil scrubs for soft lips*!
1. Coconut Oil and Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Powder Scrub
Like coconut oil, Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Powder has natural beauty benefits for the skin, such as that on the face, lips & cheeks. It contains caffeic acid to promote a rush of blood circulation for naturally colored lips that are in the pink of health. Its powdery texture is also great as a gentle organic and natural exfoliant and pick-me-up your lips could ever ask for!
Ingredients you’ll need:
- 2 tablespoons of fully vegan, organic and natural coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons organic and natural coffee powder
Mix the coffee powder with coconut oil in a small bowl. Keep the remaining mixture in a small container if you’re not going to be using all of it! Massage on the lips in gentle circular motions for 5 minutes, then rinse it off thoroughly and pat dry.
2. Coconut Oil and Organic and Natural Lemon Oil
Feel reinvigorated with this potent combination of tasty organic ingredients!
Organic and natural lemon essential oil is an effective astringent with proven
natural beauty benefits for viral skin A scientific study conducted in 2017 found that it was even able to naturally heal warts and cold sores — skin infections that commonly affect the lips!
Ingredients you’ll need:
- 2 tablespoons of fully vegan, organic and natural coconut oil
- ¼ teaspoon of organic and natural lemon essential oil
- 2 teaspoons of organic and natural brown sugar
Combine the coconut oil and natural brown sugar in a bowl. Gently add in the lemon essential oil and mix it until the sugar is fully coated with the mixture. Massage on the lips in gentle circular motions for 5 minutes, then rinse it off thoroughly and pat dry.
3. Coconut Oil + Organic and Vegan Vanilla + Brown Sugar
As with our previous recipe, natural brown sugar is commonly used as a physical exfoliator in many lip scrubs. However, its natural beauty benefits extend far beyond its granular texture alone: it is also an organic and vegan humectant that pulls moisture from the environment to deeply hydrate the skin on your lips & cheeks. Coupled with glycolic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), these hard-working organic ingredients naturally slough away dead skin cells without stripping any moisture for hydrated, supple lips you’ll love!
Ingredients you’ll need:
- 2 tablespoons of fully vegan, organic and natural coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons of organic and natural brown sugar
¼ teaspoon organic and natural vanilla extract
In a small mixing bowl, combine the coconut oil and brown sugar together. For a yummy scent that smells of the sweetest cupcakes, add the organic and natural vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly and massage on the lips in gentle circular motions for 5 minutes, then rinse it off thoroughly and pat dry.
*Please note that these organic and natural lip scrubs will take some time to work their magic on your puckers, so use them for as long as you need to achieve your desired result.
