Exfoliating with a lip scrub is good for softening and smoothing lips before applying lipstick, or when your lips are dry and peeling from cold wind or prolonged sun exposure. Don’t exfoliate more than twice a week. Start with once a week so you avoid irritating your lips. Also, be careful not to scrub too hard.
