Fall is so close I can almost taste it! I’m going to miss shorts weather, but it will be nice to take the dog for a walk without coming home drenched in sweat. If you’re anything like me, chances are you struggle with chapped lips when the weather starts to get cool and dry. DIY lip scrub to the rescue!

All you need to make this scrub are:

2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon honey (you can make this recipe vegan by using agave nectar instead)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 drop of peppermint essential oil (optional)

Check out the video from beauty therapist Jessica to see how to make this simple lip scrub:

The video recommends a plastic container, but that’s not necessary. Check out these eco-friendlier packaging ideas for your DIY lip scrub instead!
