The cracked lips are not funny. Although, as a beauty editor, I have access to countless products and brands that promise to solve any possible care problem, they always catch me hexapin, leaving my lips dry and damaged. And because the “ready -made” look on the lips is not the most attractive, I am committed to doing whatever I need to keep them hydrated and smooth.

One product I don’t hear enough is the lip scrub. If you have watched the beauty trends in recent years, then you certainly know the ongoing controversy over whether lip scrubs are really necessary.

My opinion? Not only are they necessary, but other lip products do much more effectively. Our lips deserve the same VIP treatment we give to the rest of our skin. After all, isn’t part of our face? If you want a juicy, rosary effect or a perfect canvas for your favorite lipstick shade, keep reading. Below you will find everything you need to know about lip scrubs.

What are lip scrubs?

Now that I have to ask you how much care your lips need, we go to the basics: the right Lip Scrub choice can completely change the appearance and texture of your lips in a matter of seconds. It may not be 100% necessary (such as exfoliation twice a week for the face), but it helps the lips better absorb moisture and create the perfect base for lip products.

By adding this simple step to your care routine, you can have:
– soft lips, ideal for lipstick application
– Shiny, healthy look
– a smooth result, without scratching your lips

Most lip scrubs contain exfoliating ingredients (such as sugar or fruit seeds) that remove dead cells, as well as moisturizing elements (such as coconut oil and carrot butter) for severe hydration.

Depending on what you want to achieve, you can choose a scrub with ingredients that enhance lip volume, with acids and enzymes for deeper exfoliation, or nutrient oils for natural shine. Whatever your goal, there is the perfect lip scrub for you!

How to use Lip Scrub

To see all its benefits, you must use it correctly:

1. Apply it with your finger or with an applicator all over the surface of the lips.
2. Make gentle, circular movements to remove dead cells and help absorb the products to follow.
3. Rinse it gently (unless it’s a leave-on scrub you can leave).
4. Complete with a moisturizing lip balm to lock moisture.

Pro Tip: Lip scrubs are ideal for days with very cold or dry air, which the lips suffer.

Beware of exaggeration! Like all exfoliations, if you overdo it, you can irritate your lips. Use it 1-2 times a week and with mild movements. If you feel that your lips are burning or are very red afterwards, you probably overdo it.
