Lip Scrub
Dry flakes on your lips show straight away, especially under lipstick or lip gloss. A lip scrub removes those flakes gently. Most lip scrubs contain sugar as the exfoliating grain and a base of oil or butter, so your lips are cared for while you scrub. The result: soft lips and a smooth base for the rest of your routine.

How to use a lip scrub
- Apply a little scrub to your lips.
- Massage in small circles with your finger, without pressing hard.
- Wipe off the rest or rinse with lukewarm water.
- Immediately apply a lip balm or lip mask.
Scrub your lips once or twice a week. More often isn't necessary and can actually irritate your lips.
