3 Ingredients Coffee Lip Scrub for Soft Lips
The performance can easily be seen on your lips. Isn’t it awesome? If your answer is yes, keep reading because you are about to find the how-to, swatches, and lots more.
Ingredients & Benefits
Let’s have a look at What Do You Need & Why Do You Need Them?
1. Coarsely Ground Coffee: I am using coarsely ground coffee as the defoliating agent for my lip scrub. Anti-oxidant-rich coffee has gazillions of beauty benefits including depigmenting benefits. That is why I prefer coffee for lips as it helps to de-pigment dark and uneven patches.
I have kept the grain size medium to scrub off the dead cells from my lips without irritating the delicate area.
2. Honey: Honey is a natural nourishing agent which contains lots of natural anti-oxidants. This ingredient helps the skin to stay moisturized as it is an organic humectant. It traps moisture from the air and helps to plump up the lips.
Raw honey is the best choice for this DIY. But it is not available in my home so, I am using processed honey.
3. Oil: Oil will provide a protective barrier to shield the hydration supplied via honey. I am using vegetable oil as it does not have any particular smell to cover up the rich aroma of coffee.
But any edible oil (coconut oil, canola oil, grapeseed oil, almond oil, castor oil, etc.) will serve the purpose. You can use butter as well.
How to Prepare?
1. Take 1 tablespoon of coffee in a bowl.
2. Add a quarter tablespoon of honey to it and mix.
3. Finally, add half a tablespoon of oil and give it a good stir. Store in an air-tight container.
How to Use:
1. Wet your lips with lukewarm water and gently pat them dry.
2. Take 2 pinches of lip scrub and spread it over your lips. Using a gentle rubbing motion of your fingertips exfoliate the lips for 2 minutes.
3. Use lukewarm water to remove the scrub.
4. Moisturize your pouts when they are slightly wet. For best results repeat the exfoliating routine once weekly or alternative weeks.
Bonus Tips
1. You will be able to see optimal results if you soften the dead cells of your lips by intense moisturizing before scrubbing.
2. Be gentle while scrubbing or you may end up with bruised lips which we don’t want.
3. As the coffee grains dissolve in water very easily, do not expose the lip scrub to moisture.
So, this is all about my Coffee-Honey Lip Scrub. Make this at home and enjoy super soft and luscious lips. Do you have any favorite DIY lip scrub? Share with us in the comments.
