The key to healthy lips? A clean canvas right from the start. Lip exfoliation gets rid of surface-level impurities that prevent lip products from actually doing their job. Before you apply any of your lip balms, oils or makeup, relieve flakiness and dryness with the COSRX Full Fit Honey Sugar Lip Scrub. This scrub uses sugar crystals to buff away dead skin cells, while Honey and Cacao extract help to keep lips soft and hydrated. If you’re wearing lipstick, prepped lips will make it easier to apply color flawlessly, and elongate its wear.
