- Spoon the mixture into a small jar or container with a tight-fitting lid.
- To use, simply apply a small amount of the lip scrub to your lips and gently massage in circular motions for about 30 seconds.
- Rinse off the scrub with warm water and pat your lips dry.
That’s it! Your homemade lip scrub is ready to use. Store it in a cool, dry place and use it as needed to keep your lips soft and smooth.
