Choosing scrubs
Lip scrubs use fine granules to loosen dry flakes from the lips so that moisturizer can sit on a smoother surface. Look at the texture first. Very fine, soft particles are gentler for everyday use, while coarser grains suit thicker, rougher patches. Note the form as well: a loose sugar or salt-style scrub, a paste, or a scrub that sits inside a balm each feels different on the lips.
Check the ingredient list for a base that suits your lips. Oil- or butter-based scrubs tend to feel softer, while water-based formulas can feel lighter. If your lips are sensitive, scan the list for fragrance or flavoring and choose a simpler formula. Finish matters too. Some scrubs leave a slick feel and others rinse off cleanly. Size is a practical consideration, since a small tube or jar is easier to carry and to keep clean.
Using a lip scrub
Apply a small amount to dry or slightly damp lips and rub gently in small circles for a few seconds. Use light pressure and stop if the lips feel tender. Wipe or rinse away the residue, then follow with a balm or moisturizer. Many people find it works well to scrub once or twice a week rather than every day, and to pair it with a product such as those in Balms & Moisturizers or Lip Butters afterward.
Questions about scrubs
How often should I use a lip scrub?
Start with once a week and see how your lips feel. If they look irritated or feel sore, reduce how often you use it or skip a session.
Can I use a lip scrub with a lip plumper?
Use the scrub first, wipe it away, and then apply any other product. Browse Lip Plumpers if you are comparing options for a separate step.
