DIY Strawberry Lemonade Lip Scrub
Dry, flaky lips always seem to make an appearance during the colder months, so I've started making this simple DIY lip scrub to keep them soft and smooth. It gently exfoliates away dry skin while helping to lock in moisture, and the fresh strawberry lemonade scent is an added bonus!
This homemade lip scrub is made with just four ingredients: almond oil, sugar, strawberry extract, and lemon essential oil. The sugar gently buffs away dry, flaky skin, while the almond oil helps nourish and moisturize your lips. The strawberry extract and lemon essential oil create a sweet, refreshing scent that makes this scrub feel like a little treat every time you use it.
