Kissable Pout: 10 Best lip scrubs to exfoliate and smoothen your lips
updated the Friday, April 22, 2016
From the creamiest to the grittiest, we round up the best lip scrubs for you.
Exfoliating is not a new beauty concept. It is frequently done on the face and areas such as knees, backs and feet. However, there is one part of the body that is commonly neglected: the lips. Many neglect caring for their lips and this can result in the prominent appearance of lines, flakiness or even pigmentation.
Regular exfoliators might not make the cut when used on the lips as their exfoliants might be too harsh for the tender skin. When choosing a lip scrub, opt for a formula with the right amount of grit. If you are not a fan of this formula, opt for a creamy lip scrub that will gently help to remove the first layer of dead skin.
Using a lip scrub will help to remove dry skin and reveal a smooth canvas, as well as promote blood circulation. Doing it right before applying your favourite lip products will help to give a plumping effect. Start off by dispensing some of the product onto your middle or ring finger – they provide the right amount of pressure. Press down gently on your lips and begin to work the product in, using circular motions. You could even make use of a toothbrush to quicken this process. Remove the product with a damp cloth and pat dry with your fingers. Your lips will be sensitive after exfoliation and should be protected with a nourishing lip balm.
