How often do you use lip scrub? Just as exfoliating the skin is important, exfoliating the lips is also important.
Chapped and dry lip are quite common and can often cause embarrassment.
The best lip balm or lipstick can’t hide chapped, dry lips. Applying
lipstick over chapped lips causes the lipstick to fuzz and settle between the lines on the lips.
It’s not enough to moisturize your lips with Vaseline. Exfoliating the lips ensures the lips remain naturally soft and shiny. Exfoliating also removes dead skin cells.
Your lips need to be exfoliated at least twice a week to keep them supple and healthy, especially during dry weather and Harmattan.
These simple homemade recipes can be prepared within minutes and used to restore your lips to health.
Note that the best time to exfoliate your lips is at night
before bedtime.

Coconut oil and sugar scrub
Coconut oil is another famous natural moisturizer. You can rub coconut oil on your lips to keep them moisturized. But to get the full effect of this substance, prepare a mixture of coconut oil and sugar.
What you will need:
1 teaspoon coconut oil
1 teaspoon of granulated brown or white sugar

Mix ingredients together in a bowl to form a sticky paste.

Leave for 30 seconds or a minute.
