We take time to buff our body and exfoliate our face but many of us neglect our lips. The lips are a very sensitive part of our faces and for that very reason it’s crucial we understand the benefits of lip exfoliation. Did you know that the lips are 100 times more sensitive than your fingertips? There are millions of nerve endings around the lips, that’s what makes them so sensitive to external effects! Our DIY Marshmallow Lip Scrub will heal chapped and dry lips. Let’s get started!
Benefits
Neutralizing Discoloration
- Exfoliating your lips lifts dead skin cells and helps bring back that natural pink pouty color we’re used to seeing.
Eliminates Dead Skin
- When too many skin cells build on the surface of your lips it causes them to look and feel chapped. Exfoliating your lips will help remove the dry and dead skin cells.
Preps for Hydration
- Using a lip scrub to remove the outer layer of the dead cells prepares your lips for hydrating products. It allows those hydrating products to work more effectively and penetrate the skin better.
