Who could need a scrub right now? Scrub helps to exfoliate your lips which provide many many benefits allowing a smoother and beautiful lip without the filler. Here are some benefits on exfoliating your lips:
- Removes Dead Skin Cells: When exfoliating, it allows you to remove the dead cells, preventing flakiness and any buildup of rough patches. You can just feel those softer lips?
- Promotes Smooth Texture: Want a softer texture for your lips? Do you feel that your lips are chapped or rough? Exfoliating your lips can help smooth the surface of the lips.
- Lip Colour Enhancer: Exfoliating can actually help to reveal new skin underneath, which can possibly enhance the natural colour of your lips. Fun bonus: Lipsticks and lip glosses can slide and glide on more smoothly allowing a better application.
- Improves Product Absorption: Scrubbing can help you get rid of the dead skin cells allowing you to create a clean surface which in turn allows moisturizers and lip balm to absorb better into the skin.
- Prevents Cracking & Peeling: If you scrub consistently this can help to eliminate any dry and dead skin. Caution: Make sure your lips do not become painful or have any adverse reaction, if so stop immediately.
- Promotes Blood Circulation: Scrubbing in circular motions aka massaging your lips can help to stimulate the blood circulation which can contribute to healthier plump looking lips. So why not try it?
- Prevents Lipstick Feathering: Has your lipstick ever feathered or bled? It’s annoying isn’t it? When you exfoliate your lips, this can help to prevent this from happening. How? Smooth lips can provide a precise and smoother canvas for better lipstick application.
