How to Get Softer Lips

Everyone wants smooth, beautiful, kissable lips! How do you get that? By exfoliating lips with either a homemade sugar scrub or a good lip exfoliator once or twice a week. Just like you would exfoliate your face to slough off any dead skin cells leaving your face smooth and fresh, your lips also require the same attention getting rid of dull, dry flakes and keeping your lips looking even and moist.

I use Mary Kay Satin Lip Mask (size .3 oz) for my demonstration since I bought it last year and rarely use it. However, my lips have been a bit flaky lately so it was a good time as any to break it out again. I don't have the ingredients on it since this was before beauty blogging, but you can purchase it here for $9.50 or you can make your own homemade lip scrub (a teaspoon of olive oil with a teaspoon of sugar).

Gently apply the scrub over ur lips and massage for a min or two.
Then wash off with warm water

You'll notice instantly that your lips are smoother
and a natural rosy color appears due to the exfoliation

With any exfoliation, be sure to moisturize your lips afterwards.
I'm falling in love with Yes to Carrots C Me Smile Lip Butter in citrus
gifted to me by Jeremy as a thank you for the review I did on the moisturizer.
It's definitely smooth like butter and smells heavenly!


Here's to beautiful lips, girls!

I used to use that Mary Kay lip exfoliator and loved it. I haven't repurchased it because I don't have a Mary Kay lady anymore. But I think sugar scrub is just as good and sweeter. =)
