Peppermint Essential Oil Lip Scrub

Pucker up! We’re making an essential oil lip scrub with Peppermint oil, and it’s the only lip scrub we’ll be using from here on out. You know all about lip balm, but why make a lip scrub? Chapped, dry lips affect everyone, and an exfoliating lip scrub gives your lips a little TLC to help you gently remove dry skin so you can put your best face forward. It feels good to take care of yourself! 

That’s why we put together an easy do it yourself lip scrub with coconut oil and brown sugar. It’s made with ingredients you probably already have around the home, and the addition of Peppermint essential oil adds a strong cooling effect that leaves your lips tingly and fresh. This delicious, naturally sourced exfoliating lip scrub will leave your lips feeling smooth and your confidence feeling rejuvenated. Plus, this lip scrub for men and women might just be the perfect holiday gift!
