Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Lips
  • Face Scrub
  • A Toothbrush (separate from the one you use on your teeth)
  • A Warm Washcloth

Step1
Wet a clean washcloth with very warm water and apply it to your lips. Hold the washcloth in place for one to two minutes.
Step2
Remove the washcloth and set aside, then dab a small amount of daily face scrub on your lips.

Wet the toothbrush that was chosen to use on the lips and then gently scrub them using small circular motions. Scrub lips for approximately 20-30 seconds and then rinse the toothbrush clean.
Step4
Wet the washcloth once again with warm water and remove the remaining face scrub from the lips. Follow up by gently splashing tepid water on the lips until any traces of the face scrubs has been washed away.

Tips & Warnings

  • If you do not use face scrub, you can make your own natural scrub by combining olive oil with sugar or salt; just try not to ingest the scrub.
  • If your lips are cracked or bleeding, do not exfoliate until they have healed.
