DIY Vanilla Lip Scrub
A soft, sweet lip scrub made with ingredients I already had on hand from my lip gloss and vanilla oil projects. It smooths and preps lips before applying gloss, and takes less than five minutes to make.
I start with 2 tbsp granulated sugar — this is my base, the part that does the actual exfoliating.

A Few Things I Use Alongside These
I use a small bowl just for these DIYs so I'm not scooping coconut oil out of my cooking bowls. Makes the whole process quicker and cleaner.
Small Mixing Bowls
I store both the lip scrub and body scrub in these. They're reusable, look cute on my shelf, and keep everything fresh longer than a regular container would.
Folinstall 60 Pack 1.5oz Small Glass Jars
I sometimes use this with the coffee scrub instead of my hands , it helps the scrub work into rougher spots like elbows and knees a little better.
Dermasuri Deep Exfoliating Glove Korean Mitt
I always follow my lip scrub with a balm before gloss. It locks in the softness the scrub just created so my lips don't dry out again right away.
Lip Balm
Not required, but it makes the whole thing feel like an actual spa moment instead of just another shower step. I keep mine right by the tub for scrub days.
