My lips are chronically dry and by dry I mean they're flaky and no moisture lives there. I'm always using copious amounts of lip balm and only use moisturising lipsticks to add extra moisture to my lips.
The BR girls are constantly raving about Lush and their amazing range, so I thought why not... Jump on the band wagon. I got the strawberry lip scrub and my oh my...
The consistency is castor sugar with strawberry flavouring and I need to point out that I'm amazed this isnt for human consumption because when I use it I cant resist a lick of the lips. The flavour is delicious!!
The consistency is gritty when you apply it to your lips but not rough at all. I use tiny amount, probably as much as what my index finger can scoop out, and alittle goes a long way. I apply to my bottom and top lip and rub vigoriously for about 1 minute. Even though you rub vigoriously, the gritty consistency doesnt hurt and its not painful on the lips. Its just like exfoliating but only on your lips. You can actually see the skin of your being shed which is so cool :).
After rubbing for 1 minute, I leave it for about another minute so my lips can soak up the oils in the scrubs. After that I remove with a towel and wow wee baby soft lips await me! I immediately apply lipbalm after the scrub to hold in the moisture of the scrub.
I use the scrub about twice a week and my lips after so much more moistured and soft and my lipstick is looking amazing on these soft, kissable lips. I recommend this scrub to everyone looking to scrub away dead skin and flaky lips.
Makes your lips feel nice and smooth by rubbing a small amount on your lips. You can eat the scrub after using it but it doesn't have the best taste to it. I love the bubble gum smell though just not the taste. It can get quite messy if you pick too much on your finger so best to use it over the bathroom basin. I probably won't purchase this again as you can easily make your own lip scrub with products in you kitchen pantry. However I would like to try the other flavours
