As a body scrub, a lip scrub is a semi-liquid or other soft-solid base containing particles that slough off dry, flaky pieces and leave smooth skin behind. Lip scrubs are a type of mechanical exfoliation, meaning they physically remove dead skin cells. Properly exfoliated lips better absorb moisturizing agents and protectants such as lip balm.
To maintain soft, supple, and healthy-looking lips, you should exfoliate your lips once or twice a week. Exfoliating helps in removing dead skin of lips and provides a new layer to lips.
Some benefits for exfoliating lips also include;
Shea Butter contains a rich amount of vitamin E and antioxidant properties, which boosts skin moisture. It also has anti-inflammatory properties and is often used to heal and prevent chapped lips.
Coconut oil is rich in essential amino acids and oils and is a necessary ingredient for the skin. It provides moisture to the lips.
Honey contains antioxidants, antiseptic, moisturizing properties, which help soften the skin layers and remove impurities from pores, including dirt that causes blackheads.
Phenoxyethanol is primarily included in skincare products as a preservative against bacterial contamination.
Cocoa powder includes properties that help to soften, clear, and detoxify your skin. It provides moisture to the lips.
