See what are the benefits and how to make lip scrub

The famous lip scrub that has won the hearts of those who want softer lips. Although it is very common for exfoliation to be recommended for areas such as the face, legs and butt, the mouth also needs to be exfoliated.

This procedure is beneficial, helping to remove dead cells, which improves hydration and collagen production of the lips. The exfoliation serves all types of lips, especially those lips that are very dry and have loose skin.

What are the benefits?

The lips, also like the rest of the body, need care. Exfoliation removes dead cells, which helps with hydration, as the applied products can perform a better job. Exfoliation is a great way for those looking for soft, smooth lips and there is also a stimulus for cell renewal and collagen production, which helps in lip hydration.

How to make a lip scrub?

There are several ways to make a lip scrub. In a homemade way, the most common is to mix sugar and honey. Just mix it up and gently massage your lips with your fingers for a few minutes so as not to hurt, then just wash and dry carefully and, finally, apply a lip moisturizer.

What care?

After the procedure, it is normal for your mouth to be very sensitive. Important to stay away from citrus foods and hot drinks so you don’t risk staining your skin and causing injuries. If you are leaving the house after the procedure, use a lip moisturizer with sun protection.

How often to do?
It depends on how your lip is. The recommendation is to do it once a week or every 15 days, so as not to run the risk of the lip becoming too sensitive and, with that, ending up hurting.

Lip scrub is part of a self-care routine and can be done either at home with natural ingredients or specific products, such as lip scrubs, which are nothing less than lip scrubs that contain specific ingredients for hydration, nutrition and of course, exfoliation. This procedure can also be done in aesthetic studios, with a professional who will evaluate and create a suitable treatment for your lip type.
