Here are the steps to properly exfoliate your lips, shared by Dr. Shweta Mishra, cosmetic surgeon at Sharva Clinic (India):
Clean
Start by rinsing your lips with warm water.
Pat lips dry with a soft towel. Avoid rubbing as lips are very sensitive and easily irritated.
Apply lip scrub
Use an exfoliating product specifically designed for lips or use a homemade exfoliant like a sugar scrub or coffee scrub to apply to your lips.
Lip massage
Massage lips gently in small circular motions for 1 to 2 minutes.
Wash clean
After exfoliating, rinse your lips with warm water to remove all dead skin and exfoliant from your lips.
Lip Moisturizer
Pat lips dry with a clean towel and apply a lip balm to hydrate and nourish, ensuring lips stay soft.
