How to Get Smooth Lips

Grab an exfoliant and get scrubbing: Most importantly, we need to get rid of that layer of dead skin. If you have a lip scrub, use it! If not, don’t worry, a DIY lip scrub takes less than to minutes to make. Sugar, honey, and extra virgin olive oil is all you’ll need. Mix a small amount of the three ingredients together and apply to your lips. You can even use a toothbrush to work it in, almost like a loofah for your lips. Rinse off with warm water and pat dry.

Keep them hydrated: After exfoliating away the dead skin, you now have a new layer of fresh skin. It’s important to keep your lips moisturised so they don’t go back to the same dry, cracked state. While lip balms are great to use on an every day basis, when we need a little extra boost, Vaseline is our go to for extra protection and hydration.

Opt for a moisture-rich formula: Some lipsticks or stains can be drying, so when you want a bit of colour but you’re working towards recovering dry lips, a moisture-rich formula can make all the difference. Whether it’s a gloss, a creamy lipstick or a lip butter, go for hydrating over matte.
