DIY Lip Scrub (Bubble Gum)

This DIY lip scrub recipe is a bubble gum lip scrub recipe! Like its partner, the DIY Bubble Gum Lip balm, this scrub is one of my favorite flavors. While it does not provide aromatherapy in the same way that an essential provides, the smell is therapeutic in a nostalgic kind of way. It reminds me of cruising and eyeballing all the different bubble gums at the candy stores. Being on a low carb diet, this bubble gum DIY lip scrub recipe is one way to have your bubble gum and eat it too. So, let’s get to the ingredients for this simple fun DIY lip scrub recipe.

Ingredients

This nostalgic DIY lip scrub recipe is prepared with a mixture of sugar, cocoa butter, coconut oil, bubble gum flavor oil, and colorant.

1. Sugar

Lips are a relatively small area of the skin, and they only contain a few thin layers of skin. Therefore, a scrub for the lips needs to be small and somewhat gentle on the skin. Therefore, a fine-grained caster sugar is recommended when preparing the DIY lip scrub recipes.

2. Cocoa Butter

Cocoa butter is a firm butter that conditions and softens the skin on your lips. Once the skin is softened, the dead skin cells can be removed more easily while exfoliating with the fine grains of sugar.

3. Coconut Oil

The coconut oil is another very beneficial oil to add to your DIY lip scrub recipe because it can have positive effect on the skin and surrounding tissues when applied. Coconut oil (1) penetrates deeply, (2) increases blood flow to the skin, and (3) destroys a variety of microbes. Therefore, the coconut oil warms your lips while destroying germs. An unscented coconut oil that has been refined is used in the bubble gum DIY lip scrub recipe. Since the coconut oil is refined, it does not have the smell or taste of coconut.

4. Bubble Gum Flavor Oil

If you enjoy the smell of bubble gum or have a friend that really like bubble gum, this DIY lip scrub can be an uplifting, relaxing way to exfoliate the lips. A simple bubble gum lip safe oil is used to make this bubble gum DIY lip scrub.

5. Colorant

A pink colored lip safe mica is added to give this bubble gum DIY lip scrub a soft pink color. Only a small amount of the colorant is needed. So, you can purchase the one color or get set of mica colorants to use for some more DIY skincare products.

DIY Lip Scrub (Banana)

This banana flavored DIY lip scrub is my second favorite flavored lip scrub! However, I really think it is a tie with the bubble gum DIY lip scrub. While neither are prepared with essential oils, they both provide their own uplifting smells and perhaps nostalgic aromas. The banana lip flavoring that I ended up using reminds me of banana Laffy Taffy. Something that was probably eaten way more often than needed as a child. So, instead of eating too much candy, the banana DIY lip scrub allows you to take a mini trip around memory lane while you exfoliate your lips.

Ingredients

The cocoa butter is a firm butter that conditions and softens the skin on your lips. In this way, the dead skin cells can be removed more easily while rubbing the exfoliating grains of sugar across your lips.

It is a (1) deeply penetrating oil that (2) increases blood flow, and (3) destroys microbes. So, the coconut oil can help warm your lips while destroying bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
