How to use lip scrub?

Lips scrub is a must have if you want soft lips. What’s more, it is incredibly easy to apply it. So, why not add it to your skin care routine? You can even apply it while you are waiting for your face mask to dry. That way, if you are short on time, you can easily combine the two and save yourself a few minutes. So, how do you apply it? Well, the first thing you need to is wet your lips with water. Then apply the lip scrub and massage it on your lips for 1-2 minutes. This will help remove all of the dead skin from your lips. Rinse it with warm water or eat it if it is edible, apply lip balm and you are all set! If you do this once or twice a week, we guarantee you everyone will notice how soft and amazing your lips look. What’s more, it will make applying your lip stick so much easier and smooth.
