DIY Sugar Lip Scrub, Pineapple Flavor

All the ingredients you need to make a DIY lip scrub!As I said, there aren’t many ingredients in this scrub, 4 total. And if you don’t want to have fresh pineapple in your scrub you can opt for the pineapple flavoring.

| INGREDIENT LIST |
6 Tablespoons granulated sugar
3 Tablespoons coconut oil
2 Tablespoons pineapple purée
or 1/2 teaspoon pineapple flavoring
2 drops Vitamin E oil

Combine all the ingredients for the DIY lip scrub!DIRECTIONS | First step is to purée enough fresh pineapple to yield 2 tablespoons worth. Set it aside for now and grab another small mixing bowl. Add the sugar and coconut oil, stir well. Add in the pineapple purée — or pineapple flavoring — and 2 drops of Vitamin E oil and stir until well incorporated. Store in an airtight container and keep in a refrigerator for up to 7 days if you used fresh pineapple purée. If you used the pineapple extract/flavoring instead of the purée it will keep for up to 3 month.

Mix, mix, mix!This will make enough DIY sugar lip scrub to fill roughly two small lip balm containers. How to use this is pretty straight forward, but I thought I would share how I like to use my lip scrubs. After I’ve brushed my teeth for the night — while my lips are still wet — I’ll generously apply the DIY sugar lip scrub and gently massage it onto my lips in small circular motions to allow the sugar granules to exfoliate any dry or dead skin and the coconut oil to moisturize. Rinse with warm water and pat dry with a towel and finish off with your favorite lip balm.

My favorite fruit is pineapple, so of course I want to make a DIY lip scrub with it!And there you have it! Pretty simple and straight forward, right? Just like a DIY sugar lip scrub should be! If you’re not a DIY type of person, I’ve got you covered — this $3 one will last you months!

    I want to make this! I feel like the pineapple would be extra good in a scrub because it’s so acidic and it would probably help with the sloughing off of dead skin. Need to try!

    Pineapple – yum! Thank you for this! I was quite sick of all the coffee/sugar/chocolate scrubs. I mean, is there no other flavour! I love pineapple. Will make this!

    Maybe I’ll try this one! I’ve tried making DIY lip scrubs in the past but they always came out goopy and weird. I did buy some coconut oil for some DIY projects, guess it’s time to get started!
