DIY Lip Scrubs to Get Plump Lips This Summer

Nothing is more painful than dry, sandpaper lips. When you apply lipstick, the uneven texture becomes much more visible.

That is when lip scrubs, which slough off dead skin cells to soften and moisturise your lips, come in handy.

They’re also an excellent technique to prepare your lips for lipsticks, tints, and glosses.

Coffee scrub

Caffeine in coffee grounds stimulates blood flow, which causes the colour of the lips to brighten. Make a paste out of coffee powder by combining it with sugar and coconut oil. Then apply it to your lips.

Brown sugar scrub

All you need to do is to prepare your brown sugar exfoliant, and combine it with organic honey and a few drops of essential oil. Wash it off with warm water after gently rubbing it on your lips in a circular movement. Don’t forget to apply lip balm afterwards.

Strawberry scrub

Strawberries include Vitamin C, which can help smooth out the texture of your lips and protect them from the sun. You’ll need olive oil, cane sugar, strawberries, and honey to make this lip scrub. Blend them all, and you’re done.
