So what about your lips? Shouldn’t they enjoy the same benefits as your arms, legs and the rest of your face and body from exfoliation and moisturisation? One beauty guru online suggests:

"....to properly, adequately moisturize chapped lips, you need to get rid of the flakes and dead skin cells before your hydrating balms can really get in there, because otherwise the balm just sits on top of the sad situation" - Ouch!

Not everyone may want or need to slough off the dead skin from their lips (and if you do - please be gentle with them!) But lips as we know can take a bit of a battering from some of the elements (harshc old winds or central heating in winter; drying sun and UV rays in the warmer days - and that's even before you use semi-permanent lipsticks, or have a habit of licking your licks which can be very drying in itself). This can lead to rough skin which needs removing (before you are tempted to pull it off in shreds with your teeth and make them bleed!) - Double Ouch!!

Lips are very sensitive and tender parts of the body, so need to be treated with respect - no attacking them with an old bristly toothbrush for the job here. We have some of the answers to your beauty treats (and we are not just paying Lip Service to them, either!) Sugar Scrub to gently exfoliate, followed by a fruit lip balm to moisturise and care for them.

You're welcome!
