DIY Strawberry Lip Scrub - Vegan Recipe

If you love sweet, juicy strawberries and having soft, kisses-ready lips, you’ll need to try this homemade natural lip scrub recipe! This vegan-friendly exfoliating lip scrub is super easy to make, will help you remove rough skin from your lips, soften and moisturise them, and tastes delicious too. 

Strawberries contain malic acid, a wonderful natural exfoliant that gently combats dry, chapped lips, and helps reveal fresh soft skin.

To make a homemade lip scrub you will need:

• 1 ripe strawberry
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• 1 teaspoon brown granulated sugar
• small bowl
• fork
• washcloth

Preparation:

In a small bowl, mash the strawberry with a fork, then add the olive oil and sugar. Mix the three ingredients thoroughly. Use your finger to apply the mixture to your lips in circular motions. Gently massage for 2-3 minutes to remove rough skin. Wipe off with warm water and a washcloth, and follow with a moisturising lip balm.

Deerieo vegan-friendly lip balms are luxuriously rich and create a nourishing, softening and protective veil over your lips. Available in three luscious flavours.  

Remember that the skin on your lips is very thin and delicate. While using this lip scrub, apply only gentle pressure and don’t exfoliate too often - once a week is enough to keep your pouts soft and supple.
