My #1 hate is flaking, chapped lips. Sometimes no matter how much balm or vaseline I apply, my lips just won't correct themselves. This leads to me picking at the flakes of skin, and then often to bleeding lips. Gross.
The e.l.f. exfoliator hugely helps with removing those chapped lips. I give my lips a good scrub once or twice a week, and they are left smooth for the next few days. I love that the e.l.f. product comes in a tube form, rather than needing to apply it with my finger which surely must encourage germs to grow in the sugar mixture. This also has castor oil as its base, which I've been using for years on practically every skin condition.
Finally, it tastes super delicious! I have the brown sugar flavour, and can't help but save a little for myself hehe.
I purchased this off iHerb months ago when my lips were in the grips of winter dryness. Whilst it was still in transit I learnt how easy it was to make your own lip scrub.
Making your own scrub means you can ensure that it's natural and super cheap, right? Right! So I made and used my own lip scrub for a good month or so before I even tried this one.
One morning I had run out of my DIY conconction so finally picked the elf one up and gave it a go. Beauties...ain't nobody got time for DIY scrubs when this little gem is out there!
There's no mess! No more sugar dribbling down your chin as you apply your DIY scrub and no more cleaning of your DIY container. Just pop the lid off, rub over your lips the same as you would a lippy and admire the resulting luscious pout! It has a surprisingly sweet flavour and feels really hydrating. I can't rave about it enough!
DIY be gone. Convenience is my jam.
Tips: It's perfect for travel! Stick it in your bag when you go away, you will be surprised at how handy it is to have on hand!
