Rose Lip Scrub







     The cold January air can cause mayhem on our soft lip skin, and
     February is the perfect time to begin healing them for soft,

     kissable lips!


          Finely ground sugar (or brown sugar)                           Rose petals for decoration

          Liquid coconut oil (or liquid oil of choice)                   (optional)
          Honey (omit if vegan)                                          Small bowl for mixing

          Rose essential oil blend or rosewater for                      Mixing spoon
          fragrance                                                      Small glass jars or lip balm tins for

          Lip scrub colorant for a rosy pink                             storage
          (optional)                                                     Small grinder or knife for rose
          Vitamin E (optional)                                           petals




             Add finely ground sugar or brown sugar to a small mixing bowl. Tip: if
             the sugar is coarse, use a spice or coffee grinder to grind it into a fine

             powder.
             If making a rose petal lip scrub, add a spoonful of rose petal powder or

             a sprinkle of dried rose petals. Tip: grind or lightly chop the rose petals
             into smaller pieces so you don’t have large petals in the lip polish.
             Next, pour in the fractionated coconut oil (or liquid carrier oil of your

             choice) and honey. Mix well to incorporate and thoroughly coat the
             sugar. The lip scrub should begin to stick together nicely.

             Add rose essential oil blend and mix well once again.
             If adding vitamin E and a colorant, add it now and mix thoroughly to

             incorporate the color evenly.
             Transfer the lip scrub mixture to small glass containers or lip balm tins

             and seal well.


        To use a lip scrub, start with clean, slightly damp lips. Apply a small

        amount of the rose sugar lip scrub mixture to your lips. Rub it on your lips
        in a circular motion to gently buff away flaky skin. Once your lips feel

        softer and smoother, rinse off the scrub with warm water, or use a
        washcloth to lightly wipe the scrub from your lips.
