Dry, flaky lips are common, especially during harsh weather. While lip balm helps, sometimes it’s not enough. That’s where lip scrubs come in — they gently remove dead skin, making your lips soft, smooth, and ready to absorb moisture better.
Unlike balms that just coat your lips, lip scrubs exfoliate, boost blood flow, and even make your lips look fuller and healthier. Regular exfoliation can also help slow down signs of aging around the mouth.
Quick DIY Lip Scrub Recipes:
- Coconut Lip Scrub
Mix 1.5 teaspoons of coconut oil with 1 teaspoon of coconut sugar. Apply in gentle circles and rinse. - Cinnamon Lip Scrub
Blend 2 tablespoons coconut sugar, 2 tablespoons coconut oil, and 1 tablespoon cinnamon. This gives a natural plump effect! - Coffee Lip Scrub
Combine 1 teaspoon coffee powder, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon coconut oil. Energizes and softens lips. - Strawberry Lip Scrub
Mash 1 strawberry, add ½ teaspoon coconut oil and 2 teaspoons sugar. Freshens and brightens lips naturally.
How Often to Use:
Exfoliate lips twice a week. Always follow up with a hydrating lip balm to lock in moisture.
Final Tip:
Adding a lip scrub to your routine can transform rough, dry lips into smooth, nourished ones. It’s a small step with big results.
