DIY Pumpkin Spice Latte Coffee Lip Scrub

11 November, 2015 by Giselle Rochford 15 Comments

I haven’t always been a lover of DIYs. Especially when I could just buy something instead. But, my recent foray into adulthood (read: lack of funds), and the success of my last beauty DIY, made me want to give this DIY Pumpkin Spice Coffee Lip Scrub a try.

Why do I need a lip scrub? Well, It’s officially fall here in Waterloo. Last week, we had some sort of weird journey back to summer, complete with blue skies and high temperatures. But yesterday was gloomy and rainy AF and the forecast for the rest of the week doesn’t look much better. So, yea, fall’s here.

And fall means it’s time for boots, leggings, scarves, warm breakfasts and cozy evenings, which are all things I love. But, with that comes the cold (duh), dry skin and chapped lips. Definitely not fun.

I can’t do anything about the cold, unfortunately. But, I do use my coconut oil night cream to combat the dry skin. And, recently, I’ve been loving this super easy PSL coffee lip scrub for dealing with my already crazy chapped lips.

This PSL Coffee Lip Scrub is literally the easiest thing to make and only uses 4 (or 5) ingredients from your kitchen. 

  1. Ground Coffee: because  coffee is a much gentler exfoliator than coconut sugar, which is all I have at home
  2. Sugar: to cut the taste of all that coffee, because, yes, the scrub will get in your mouth
  3. Olive Oil: because it was all I had on hand, but almond oil is another great option
  4. Pumpkin Pie Spice: because #pumpkinspiceeverything, right?

Ready to add some PSL to your beauty routine too? Well, 4 (or 5) simple ingredients are all you need for this easy DIY Pumpkin Spice Latte Coffee Lip Scrub.
Author: GiselleR @ Diary of an ExSloth
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup coarsely ground coffee beans*
  • 1 tbsp coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice**
  • 2½ tbsp olive oil
  • Optional: 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. Whisk together the coffee, sugar and spices, making sure to break down any clumps
  2. Add in the olive oil and vanilla, if using, and stir until well combined
  3. Store in an airtight container and use 1 - 2 times a week for optimal results
To use
  1. Apply a small amount of the coffee lip scrub (~ ¼ teaspoon) to the lips and gently massage in circular motions for 2 to 3 minutes
  2. Rinse off lips or wipe off scrub with a damp washcloth
  3. Use a thick lip balm or moisturizer after exfoliating
Notes
*You want to grind your own coffee beans for this, because the pre-ground stuff will be too fine to exfoliate properly
**If you don't have readymade pumpkin pie spice use:
1½ tsp ground cinnamon
3/4 tsp ground ginger
3/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground allspice
1/4 tsp ground cloves

For a really long time avocado on toast was a staple in my diet. I had it almost every Tuesday - mostly so I could have something to post on #toasttuesday. But when I took my extended break from social media last year I realised that I didn't actually want it week after week. And that just made honouring the real cravings 💯 times more satisfying🥑🍞💚
.
Moral of the story: Don't let anything but your body & health - not a hashtag, fad or photo op - dictate what you eat. Just do you 👊🏾

Quick thoughts on routines/comfort zones: I went skiing with some friends this weekend which is so far out of my comfort zone I still can't believe I went.
.
1. I get really anxious when I'm away from my apartment overnight (and this trip was ✌ nights)
2. New experiences scare me, especially when heights and falling are involved.
3. I'm scarily attached to my weekend routine and messing with that sends me into a tailspin.
.
Why I'm glad I went: The day started off horribly. There were tears and I had to be rescued by professionals a couple times but I kept going and by the end of the day I was having so much fun I didn't want to leave the slopes. I was also so tired after half a day of skiing I fell asleep before I could even miss my apartment. Lastly, I totally survived without my weekend routine. I have a packed lunch for the day (leftover from last week) I got the store this morning to stock up for the week and I feel more at peace and energized today than I have in too many Mondays to count.
.
All that to say: don't let your fears, routines or comfort zones stop you from experiencing everything life has to offer 💁🏾
