How to Make a Lilac Sugar Lip Scrub
Lise
Remember the lilac sugar we made the other day? Well, get it out because today we’re going to use it to make a sweet lilac lip scrub!
This is a super simple process where you don’t need much in the way of fancy equipment. You can pretty much eyeball all the amounts (but it’s never a bad idea to take notes while you work so you can recreate your fabulous product).
Ingredients List
Lilac sugar
Oil(s) of choice
Equipment List
Bowl
Sieve
Spoon
Jar for your lip scrub
Method for Lip Scrub
Place a small sieve over a bowl
Transfer desired amount of lilac sugar to the sieve.
With the back of the spoon, break up any large bits of lilac to desired size while sifting the sugar.
Add oil and stir to desired texture
Transfer to lip scrub jar
Tips and Tricks
If you want to eyeball everything but still be able to recreate, place the bowl on a scale and set the weight to 0. Add the sugar and note weight. Reset the scale and note the weight of each addition of oil as you work. You can do all the math later as long as you have the right information noted.
I like my scrubs a little on the dry side, while some prefer a very oil-rich mixture. The amount of oil to add is really down to personal preference.
Add a bit of extra flavor to the mix. For my scrub, I combined coriander seed oil, castor oil and a vanilla infused sweet almond oil. The result is very pleasing to use.
This lilac lip scrub makes a beautiful and very personalised gift for a special friend or loved one.
