What is Exfoliation?
In a nut shell, exfoliation is the removal of old dead skin cells from the surface of the skin.
Why Exfoliate?
Since lip skin does not have hair, nor does it have sweat glands or sebaceous glands, lips do not have the usual protection that keeps skin smooth and supple. This explains why the lips have a tendency to become more easily chapped and dehydrated. Just like our face, lips need to be properly cared for if you want a smooth lip color application that is going to last.
- Properly exfoliated lips are less prone to chapping
- Lip color goes on more smooth
- Lip color stays on better
Benefits to making your own Lip Scrub
- Less expensive than pre-made lip scrub or lip exfoliant
- Always fresh! Make only what you need!
- No harmful chemicals; use natural ingredients from your kitchen!
Sugar Lip Scrub
Mix a small amount of coarse sugar with a few drops of water.
Apply the mixture onto lips and gently rub it in. Wash with lukewarm water and apply olive oil or vaseline to moisturize them.
