"I know, I know--a separate scrub designed just for your lips sounds far from a must-have and more like a strictly optional. But at this point in the winter, I&amp;#x27;m pretty sure I&amp;#x27;d rather someone steal my hairbrush or (God forbid) my concealer than my trusty, chapped-lip-beating scrub. Here&amp;#x27;s what brings me to the topic: I recently received a few sample products from a new line called Ava Anderson Non-Toxic; they&amp;#x27;re designed by a 15-year-old (!) who wanted to create formulas that were absolutely free of any potentially harmful ingredients (read more about it here). The first thing I tried was the Sugar Lip Scrub, which is amazing--minty, sweet, super-smoothing and so moisturizing, thanks to shea butter. It&amp;#x27;s definitely my new addiction; you can score your own jar here. While enjoying a little lip rubdown in the shower last night, it occurred to me that scrubs designed especially for the mouth really do have unique benefits. Unlike face scrubs, they tend to be very hydrating on top of smoothing rough flakes away. Plus, the scrubby granules are often extra small, gentle and effective for lips&amp;#x27; very different skin. Check out the shopping box below for more lip-scrub options (I used to use the Benefit one--it&amp;#x27;s great). I also use a dry towel to slough my lips sometimes, but it&amp;#x27;s a little bit of a harsher method and I have to be really careful. How do you exfoliate your lips? Do you use a towel or washcloth, or a bit of your face scrub? Have you ever purchased a scrub designed just for your lips? Anybody got a good DIY lip-scrub recipe?
