Have you always been struggling with dry and chapped lips and a lip balm is no longer cutting it? Well, perhaps it is time to treat them to a lip scrub! Just like what you do for your skin, you can exfoliate your lips once a week to remove dead skin cells – leaving you with softer, plumper and more importantly, hydrated lips!

How do you use a lip scrub?

Pick up a small amount of your scrub with a finger and gently apply it all over your lips. Put more focus on the flaky areas to gently slough them off. Don’t forget the corners of your lips too – they tend to be quite prone to dryness! Rinse off.

After that, you can consider loading up on a generous amount of lip balm to use it as a mask for your lips to hydrate and nourish them.
