Rec Your...

Lip care items!

I use a minty lip scrub from B&BW about once a week, but my lips peel and flake like crazy. I'm not in love with the scrub either. 

So, rec your fave items for keeping your lips super soft and smooth! Bonus points for PIP/Link!

Re: Rec Your...

  • Labello.  I've used it for years.  It's cheap, simple and I Iove it.  I have one on my desk, one in my purse, one in my nightstand and one in the kitchen.

  • I also use Burts Bees but I like the honey kind better. It smells so good! More like a flower, less like that fake honey smell.

  • I use lush, popcorn lip scrub and lip service balm... All natural and leaves my lips sooo smooth. :-)
  • I love all my burts bees. I find what works the best is making sure I put it on before I fall asleep. Makes the most difference.

    I've tried a few of them and don't love them either. I almost find them more drying than moisturizing.

  • Honestly, I really dislike Burt's Bees. I like eos and good old fashioned ChapStick.

    I've never tried BB, but just a little known FYI, they have been owned by Clorox since 2007(?).
    Just me, but I wouldn't want to use beauty care from a company that also makes bleach.
  • I love my Burt's Bees facial scrub, but I was never a huge fan of their lip products.

    The Lush scrub looks like it could be good. Guess I'll try that and a new lip balm of some variety.

    @NotMrsSmith11, do you put that lotion on your lips?? I've dabbed a teeny bit of my body butter on my lips a few times before I've gone to bed (it's just shea butter with coconut and almond oil), but I've never applied other lotions to my lips.

    Yup.  It's not really lotion.  It's kinda like Vaseline.  I dab it on lightly during the day, and smear it on by the fistful at night.

    I also use it on my eczema and my cuticles.  Sometimes during the winter I glob it all over my hands, feet, and elbows before bed.

  • I don't usually use a scrub, because when I've tried it's seemed to just make them flakier. I just use EOS balms, I keep them all over the place.

    I've found it at either CVS or Walgreens in the past, but now I can find it at Academy too! It's a lavendery flavor.. very smooth! Their website is ilovechickenpoop.com I believe
