Winter is the best time for playing up a bold lip, but we all know nothing ruins a pretty pout more than dry, flaky skin. Whether you’re prone to dryness in the colder months, or just prepping for all those fabulous winter parties, here are eight of the best lip scrubs to help you say goodbye to chapped lips.
You’ve probably seen these little lip scrubs sitting at the front counter at Lush and have always wondered what they’re about. We’re here to help – these sweet little lip scrubs contain exfoliating caster sugar and softening jojoba oil to slough away dead skin and prep your lips for a perfect pout. Not only is Bubblegum Lip Scrub hugely powerful at a teensy cost, but it has a sweet flavour you’ll be licking off your lips all day. Yum!
This handy little 2-in-1 lip treatment is perfect for banishing dry lips and keeping your pout super kissable on the go. One side is a smoothing sugar scrub, while the other contains a tinted moisturising balm, giving you the best of both worlds in one sweet product. Use the scrub side up to three times a week, and smooth on some tinted moisturising balm whenever you need a pop of colour.
Let’s be Frank: Frank Body is absolutely killing the exfoliation game right now. Whether you’re looking to treat your whole body or just give your lips a little love, Frank has a product for you. This scrub uses a mix of ground robusta coffee and raw sugar for exfoliation, with coffee seed oil, cold-pressed macadamia oil, and ethically sourced beeswax to give you a massive moisture hit.
Tarte’s Rainforest Of The Sea Lip Facial Lip Scrub is another 2-in-1 concoction that exfoliates and treats dry, cracked lips while providing instant hydration. The twist-up pencil tip makes for a super easy application of this little powerhouse – with a hypoallergenic lip-loving blend of shea butter and Tarte’s very own Rainforest of the Sea™ antioxidant complex, prepare for some silky smooth, totally smoochable lips.
This exfoliating and nurturing lip scrub stick is a little more on the pricey side, but totally worth it if you’re looking for extra soft lips with a naturally glossy look. The grains are fine enough that you don’t even need to rinse the product off afterwards, making for an easy hydrating treatment any time of day.
