Delicious Simple Holiday DIY Lip Sugar Scrubs

I have discovered the most beautiful (and easy) lip sugar scrubs.

I've seen sugar scrubs at Lush (yes, my love/hate relationship persists, don't judge me), and thought: "I bet I could make those at home".

Yes, yes I can. And so can you!

Here are two recipes I found online that I thought I would include simply because the original recipes didn't include measurements... They take two seconds to make, taste fabulous and are a gentle exfoliant on dried out, chapped lips.

(Refrigerate, should keep for up to 2 weeks, allow to sit for a few minutes to warm up before use)

(Original recipes from Brit+Co Nov 12th 2013)
Peppermint Rosemary
125ml mason jar

3 tablespoons of white sugar
3 tablespoons of coconut oil
1 tablespoon of fresh chopped rosemary
1 teaspoon of peppermint extra

In a bowl, using a fork gently mix the ingredients together (use the fork like you would a pastry cutter). Transfer to the mason jar and voila- tasty, breath freshening lip scrubs!

Orange Clove
125ml mason jar

3 tablespoons of white sugar
3 tablespoons of coconut oil
1 tablespoon of freshly squeeze (organic) orange juice
1 tablespoon of local honey
1/2 teaspoon of ground cloves (I actually ground mine in a mortar)
1 teaspoon of orange zest

In a bowl, using a fork gently mix the ingredients together. Transfer to the mason jar and enjoy the moisturizing deliciousness of the holiday scents!
