Ready to try the easiest lip scrub ever? Like any scrub, it exfoliates off your dead skin and nourishes your lips, but this one has the added benefit of being also super easy and cheap to make. It’s basically an adaption of the DIY lip gloss you made as a kid. And it tastes so good you’ll want to eat it (but don’t!).

 

Get your supplies ready. You’ll need:

  • Vaseline

  • Measuring cups

  • Red/Purple Kool-Aid

  • A microwave safe bowl

  • A spoon

  • A small container for the finished product

 

  1. To start, scoop ÂĽ cup of Vaseline into a microwave safe bowl.

  2. Next, microwave the Vaseline for 4 minutes, pausing every minute to stir with your spoon until it’s completely melted.

  3. After it’s melted, pour in Kool-Aid until it no longer dissolves. Approximately 1 small packet of Kool Aid will do, or 1 scoop out of the canister.

  4. When you’re finished mixing, pour the mixture into your container. I’d recommend saving one of those small round container with lids that you get blue cheese in when you order wings.

 

You’re done!  Now just leave the lid off while it hardens, and then it’s safe to use! To use, work onto your lips in circular motions for 30-40 seconds. The Kool-Aid crystals work as the exfoliating agent (and adds a light color to your lips, which is why you want to use red or purple), while the Vaseline softens. Just wipe off with the scrub with a tissue and enjoy the results!
