DIY Lip Balm Sugar Scrub

This Cotton Candy Sugar Lip Scrub is an easy and fun DIY for teens and tweens.  It’s a perfect activity to keep their little minds and hands busy.

With only a week or so left of summer break, we have a few more fun crafts and activities to pack in. 

Technically, I’m on the fence about my feelings for back to school – I’m looking forward to some peace and quiet during the day so I can get some actual work done, but not looking forward to the early morning wake up times and inevitable homework struggles.  

Even though the kids say they don’t want summer to end, I know they are secretly looking forward to seeing their friends, because the “Mom, I’m bored!” has become a fairly constant phrase in the house lately.  (Even the fact that I assign chores everytime someone says they are bored, it still slips out, lol.)

This DIY Lip Scrub project has been on my list of to-dos all summer.  I’d ordered these little jars back in May and my lil missy recently reminded me about them.  I figured it was the perfect time to try making this Cotton Candy Sugar Lip Scrub. 

Because what’s better than a little mother/daughter craft project?

This particular recipe makes just enough for 3 lip balm containers, which was perfect for us – my daughter and I each kept one and she was able to give one to her best friend too.

It would be very easy to make a much larger batch, though, and I think these would make a great party favor for a tween birthday party!

In addition to being fun and easy, this Cotton Candy Sugar Lip Scrub is actually very nourishing for dry, chapped lips.

The Sugar Lip Scrub contains both coconut oil and Vitamin E oil and while I’m sure you know the many benefits of coconut oil, did you know that Vitamin E oil is known for speeding up healing and nourishing skin? It’s one of the main ingredients in healing lip balms like Burt’s Bees!

Now is the perfect time to make this Cotton Candy Sugar Lip Scrub and get your lips healthy, smooth and ready for skin. I know we’ll definitely be making it again soon, with different flavors!

How To Use This DIY Lip Scrub?

  1.   Wet lips and apply the cotton candy sugar lip scrub. 
  2.   Massage lips in a circular motion, allowing the sugar in the scrub to exfoliate and the coconut oil to moisturize.
  3.   Rinse and pat dry with a towel.
  4.   Apply your favorite lip balm or moisturizer and enjoy the sweet aroma of cotton candy on your lips!

      You may need a better quality coconut oil. That being said, coconut oil does have a strong scent and different essential oils have different levels of smells. This may be a case where you need to add a nother drop or too of essential oil. Give it a try and see what happens.

    If I make this with cotton candy sugar do you think it would work out the same or is there a specific reason for not using it
    I only ask because I have coconut oil vitamin E and tubs already and would be cheaper/easier to just get cotton candy sugar in two colours (I can get it in bulk quite cheap from amzon) plus I great at spilling things and don’t want a blue/red splatter themed kitchen

      I have no idea what cotton candy sugar even is! Give it a try and come back and let us know if cotton candy sugar works.
