Dry and flaky lips are uncomfortable and unattractive. Treating dry lips is simple and requires little care. Lip scrub is a gentle exfoliant used to soften dry and flaky lips. Here are a few lip scrubs recipes made from simple and natural ingredients which are available right in your kitchen.
Sugar Lip Scrub:
Mix sugar with a few drops of water or lime juice. Apply lip scrub on your lips and rub it in a circular motion. Make sure you rub it gently for a minute so as to avoid any kind of irritation. Rinse it off and apply lip balm.
Sugar and Coffee Scrub:
Mix sugar, coarsely grounded coffee and honey. Apply mixture on your lips and gently rub it in. Wash with water and apply lip balm for soft and smooth lips.
Petroleum Jelly:
Apply petroleum jelly on your lips. Take a soft toothbrush and gently exfoliate your lips in circular motion. Wash it off and apply lip balm.
Sugar and Honey Lip Scrub:
Mix sugar and honey well. Apply the mixture onto your lips and exfoliate in circular motion. Rinse it off and apply chapstick to moisturize them.
Sugar and Olive Oil Lip Scrub:
Mix sugar and olive oil in equal quantity. Apply the mixture on your lips. Leave it on your lips for a few seconds and exfoliate it gently using a soft toothbrush. Rinse it off with lukewarm water and moisturize them to keep them soft.
Note: Avoid exfoliating your lips if they are extremely dry or cracked. The best way to prevent dry lips is to use lip balm regularly to keep your lips moisturized all day.

Hi Shinjini…apply lip balm frequently..it would prevent your lips from drying n try not to lick your lips.
