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

Mix sugar with olive oil, honey, or Vaseline for an instant homemade scrub. Apply gently and rinse for baby-soft lips.
Apply a dab of Vaseline to a soft toothbrush and massage your lips in circular motions for gentle exfoliation.
