Healthy, soft lips don’t require a complicated regimen—just the right combination of exfoliation, hydration, and protection.

Here’s a straightforward routine that keeps lips smooth, nourished, and glossy!

1. Exfoliate with a Lip Scrub

Start by gently buffing away dry skin with a lip scrub. Any scrub will do the job, but a moisturizing formula makes the process even better. Options like Bath & Body Works' scrub add hydration, while Tree Hut scrubs are an affordable go-to. Massage a small amount onto your lips with your fingertip, then rinse for a smooth base.

2. Heal with Aquaphor or Vaseline

After exfoliating, apply a thin layer of Aquaphor to restore moisture and support healing. It works wonders on dry or cracked lips, creating a protective barrier that locks in hydration. Vaseline is another excellent alternative, offering similar soothing and sealing benefits.

3. Finish with Balm or Gloss

To complete the routine, add a lip balm or gloss for shine and extra moisture. A nourishing option like Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in Pink Sugar leaves lips soft and glossy, while a classic unscented Carmex ChapStick provides simple, long-lasting protection. Choose whichever suits your style—whether it’s a natural finish or a glossy look.

With these three easy steps, you can keep your lips healthy, hydrated, and smooth all year long!
