Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Lip Smooth Softening Scrub
For most people, using the scrub 2-3 times a week is sufficient to keep lips smooth. Over-exfoliating can lead to sensitivity, so listen to your skin and reduce frequency if your lips feel tender.
The peppermint and spearmint oils stimulate blood flow to the surface of the lips, which creates a temporary 'plumped' and more vibrant appearance. It does not provide a permanent increase in lip volume.
While the scrub is made primarily from food-grade ingredients like sugar and plant oils, it is designed for external cosmetic use only. You should wipe or rinse it off rather than ingesting it.
It is best to avoid using physical scrubs on lips that are actively bleeding or severely cracked. Instead, apply a thick layer of balm and wait for the skin to heal slightly before using the scrub to remove remaining flakes.
Most lip scrubs on the market range from 10ml to 20ml. At 50ml for £8, this product provides nearly triple the amount of product found in standard competitors, making it one of the most cost-effective options available.
