7 Best Exfoliating Lip Scrubs to Add to Your Self-Care Stash

Lip scrub is an integral part of everyone’s self-care routine. No matter how much lip balm you smear on, even the best formulas won’t be able to hydrate your lips if they’re covered in flaky skin (ew, but true). And if you need more convincing, you should know your lip gloss and lipstick will go on so much smoother and look visibly flawless if you make lip scrub a part of your weekly routine.

We know the process of lip scrubbing can be tedious and a little messy, but you can do it in under a minute if you’re extra pressed for time and committing to a lip-heavy look. The best part is that lip scrubs come in an array of different applicators and formulas so you can find what works best for you.
