ChapStick Total Hydration Conditioning Lip Scrub

Choosing the proper lip scrub is an often daunting task. With different scents, formulas and claims, it’s tricky to know what’s best for your skin. There are so many options, and finding the one that works best for you can take some trial and error. The primary purpose of a lip scrub is to exfoliate your lips. Weather and a lack of hydration can wreak havoc on your skin, and the best care is essential.

There are different ways to exfoliate, and most lip scrubs use physical exfoliation. This property means small particles are doing the work. The physical exfoliation can come from various types of sugar, usually white granulated sugar, though some also use brown sugar.

Look for a lip scrub that not only exfoliates but also provides hydration for your skin. You don’t want to exfoliate only to leave your lips dry again. Natural oils like jojoba and almond oil offer additional benefits besides immediate hydration: they often promote long-term skin healing. Most lip scrubs will come in a small pot that you dip your finger into to use the scrub. You can also choose to use a lip scrub brush with the product.

To use these products, make sure your lips are clean and that there is no lipstick on them. Then gently rub the product over your lips in a circular motion. You can wipe it off using a towel or napkin; remember to apply moisturizer immediately after.

• Use a lip scrub before applying lipstick, as this will give you a more polished look.
• Avoid using scrubs with chemicals like alcohol which will dry out the skin.
• Use a lip scrub brush to get the best effects; these brushes look like small toothbrushes designed to exfoliate your lips.
• Choose a scrub with your favorite scent. The scents range from minty to berry.
• Drinking more water can help heal your skin; dryness is often associated with dehydration.
