Scrubbing your lips can help remove dead skin cells and leave them feeling soft and smooth. A gentle approach is key, as lips are delicate. Here's how:
- Use a soft toothbrush: Gently brush your lips in small circular motions. A children's toothbrush can be even gentler. Limit this to once a week.
- Make a DIY lip scrub: Mix a teaspoon of honey with two teaspoons of sugar, then massage it onto your lips. Leave it on for 10 minutes before rinsing.
- Try a commercial lip scrub: Many brands offer lip scrubs containing exfoliating ingredients like sugar or salt.
Remember:
- Always use a gentle touch when scrubbing your lips.
- Don't exfoliate if your lips are cracked or bleeding.
- Apply a lip balm after scrubbing to keep your lips hydrated.
