Have you ever found yourself picking at the dry, flaking skin on your lips (admit it, we’re all guilty of it)? Or perhaps when you wore a matte liquid lipstick the other day and noticed the cracks that made your lips look less than desirable? If you’ve encountered this, it’s time to treat yourself to a little lip care service and add lip scrubs to your self-care routine.

The skin on our lips is the thinnest on our face, making it the most vulnerable to drying up, flaking, and splitting—something none of us want! Therefore, it’s crucial that we care for our lips, and that includes regular exfoliation. Similar to the skin on the rest of our body, dead skin cells accumulate on our lips unless we use a specific tool to remove them effectively. There is no need to concoct your own remedy when Beauty Insider has you covered with the best lip scrubs in Singapore.

Why Should You Use Lip Scrubs?

The main reason we should use lip scrubs is to remove the build-up of dead skin cells to smoothen the area to allow healthy lips to appear. However, there are more benefits to them that you should also consider. When you have a smooth surface, lip products instantly look better on you especially if you’re using a bright coloured lipstick.

Moreover, have you ever wondered why you apply lip balm but your lips still look crusty and dry? When you exfoliate, you are clearing a path for products to better penetrate the skin such as lip balms. Trust us, your lip care game will never be stronger. Are you ready to have the softest, most pillowy lips in Singapore? Read on for our pick of the best lip scrubs on the market now!
