Check out this super easy aloe vera lip scrub homemade recipe using fresh aloe! This aloe exfoliator will help you have soft lips.

I used tons of sugar and salt scrubs on my arms, legs, and feet, but I didn’t know lips scrubs existed before.

Until I was gifted one and then I was hooked. They helped me to eliminate my use of lip balm and helped all the dry skin on my lips go away completely!

It became a simple self care activity that I enjoy doing from time to time.

When I got my aloe vera plant, I knew I had to enjoy making all the things with it!

I started out with an aloe vera salve for our sun burns, and then I wanted to make a lip scrub with aloe vera too. It turned out so good I had to share!

Here is the best aloe vera lip scrub recipe, along with some of the benefits from using aloe vera on lips.

Aloe Vera Lip Scrub Benefits

Aloe vera is such a healing plant, there are so many benefits to using an aloe lip scrub. Here are a few of them:

Exfoliation: Aloe vera lip scrub helps to remove dead skin cells from your lips, leaving them smooth and soft. It’s one of the best reasons to use aloe vera for lips!
Hydration: Aloe vera is known for its moisturizing properties. Using a lip scrub containing aloe vera can help to hydrate your lips, keeping them moisturized and preventing dryness or chapping.
Healing Properties: Aloe vera has natural healing properties that can help to soothe and repair damaged skin.

If your lips are chapped or irritated, using aloe scrub on your lips can help to promote healing and alleviate discomfort.
Nourishment: Aloe vera contains vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that nourish the skin. By using a lip scrub infused with aloe vera, you can provide essential nutrients to your lips, keeping them healthy and supple.
Preparing for Lip Products: Exfoliating your lips with aloe vera scrub can help to create a smooth canvas for lip products such as lip balm, lipstick, or lip gloss.

By removing dead skin cells and moisturizing your lips, your lip products are likely to apply more evenly and last longer.

Easy Aloe Vera Lip Scrub Recipe

Here is a super easy aloe vera scrub recipe to make your own aloe vera lip care!

Ingredients

4 ½ Tbsp. white sugar
1 Tbsp. coconut oil
1 Tbsp. fresh aloe leaf
Green food coloring (optional)
Essential oils (optional)
Glass jar

Instructions

Cut a 1 inch section of the aloe leaf. Slice off the skin, leaving the gel.

Use a fork to mush up the gel and break it apart.

If using food coloring, dip a toothpick into food coloring and mix it around the coconut oil.

Add all 3 ingredients to a mixing bowl.

Stir until combined and is the consistency of very wet sand.

Add mixture into a container with a tight-fitting lid.

Tips and Tricks

You don’t have to use food coloring, and I would actually advise against it. I only used it to make the pictures stand out better.
Keep in the fridge for a nice cooling effect! This really helps the aloe vera to heal your lips further.
If the aloe is still too chunky, try using a mesh sieve or a spoon to help mash it up better.
Make a large batch and give as DIY gifts.
Add a drop of your favorite essential oil. Lavender would be a great option to help soothe dry lips.
The nice thing about this is that you can even use it on your entire body as a scrub.
