Lip scrubs are gentle scrubs used to exfoliate our lips. Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells. Simply put, a lip exfoliator can help buff away dead skin cell buildup for smooth and plump lips.
A lip scrub is an important addition to your skincare routine. Just like the skin on our face and body, our lips can often get dry. Exfoliation in this area is important to buff off flakiness and achieve a smooth base prior to lipstick application.
Homemade lip scrubs usually have an exfoliant and a nourishing element. Exfoliants in DIY lip scrubs (like brown sugar or oats) should be natural and gentle, while also adding plenty of hydration with moisturizers. You can play around with adding raw honey, essential oils as well moisturizers such as coconut oil, shea butter or vitamin E.
Just like exfoliation for your skin, it’s possible to over exfoliate your lips. Start by exfoliating your lips once or twice a week. If you don’t experience any sensitivity or irritation, then you can bump it up to every other day.
