My 2 cents
(A) On How to apply this homemade lip scrub
- Wash off every trace of a lip balm/lip stick off your lips with cold water.
- Drink a glass of water.
- Coat your lips in a layer of cold raw milk dunked in a cotton ball.
- Once semi-dry, dunk your index finger in the scrub, apply it on your lips and scrub (not scratch) gently for 2 whole minutes.
- Wash off your lips with cold water.
- Moisturize with organic ghee. It is a wonderful emollient (binds and locks moisture to your lips). Either use homemade ‘Shudh Desi’ ghee or an organic variant here
OR
- You can use an organic lip balm such as – This simple lip balm (it’s colourless)
OR
You can make your own lip balms at home (that’s better!)
Here are some recipes
(B) Precautions
- Do not go into the ‘This is Spaaartaan’ mode while scrubbing. Be gentle.
- If irritation occurs, discontinue use.
- Scrub your lips till all the granules get dissolved. If you go by the clock, two minutes is sufficient. But that is 2 whole minutes…120 seconds…not the Indian quantification of 2 minutes (= Stop when you get bored or tired)
(C) Suggestions
- Do not scrub every day. Once every three days is sufficient.
- If you wear heavy lip makeup daily, scrubbing once a day is fine.
- Continue with this homemade lip scrub for at least three weeks to see results.

Loved the pictures…
Thank you! I second you, haha.
A great and simple scrub and the pictures are very well done.
Thank you, Prerna. I prefer not buying any lip scrub now. It’s not something to invest in (learnt in late in life) given that it’s use is limited (just sloughs away layers of dead skin cells and not “moisturize” lips) and the price unlimited in the market 😛
Loved reading your post. Will try this for sure. You have clicked lovely pics 🙂
Hey Archana, thanks for dropping by and the appreciation. I owe the pictures to the camera I opted for. My photography skills are terrible otherwise 😛 Hope to keep you glued to the blog’s content.
