How to Make Your Lipstick Last All Day: Expert Exfoliation Tips

Nothing ruins a stunning lip color faster than dry, flaky skin showing through your lipstick by midday. As beauty experts with years of experience, we recommend exfoliating your lips first to ensure a smooth, long-lasting finish.

Commercial lip scrubs work great, but these simple DIY methods are just as effective:

Exfoliate with a Washcloth

Simply dampen a soft washcloth and gently massage your lips in circular motions. It's free, quick, and highly effective.

Exfoliate with Sugar

Mix sugar with olive oil, honey, or Vaseline for an instant homemade scrub. Apply gently and rinse for baby-soft lips.

Exfoliate with a Toothbrush

Apply a dab of Vaseline to a soft toothbrush and massage your lips in circular motions for gentle exfoliation.

Your lips have thin, sensitive skin, so exfoliate no more than 3-4 times a week to avoid irritation.
