Let’s be honest, no amount of lip makeup (read: a meticulous routine of deeply moisturising lips, exfoliating them, cleaning them, lining them and then filling them in colour) is going to give us luscious lips like Rihanna’s – but a girl’s gotta try. If you’re going to be trying, exfoliating your lips is your best bet! Exfoliation ensures you remove the dead skin cells, to reveal lips that are smooth, soft and pouty! They especially come in handy, considering *how much* dry and flaky those long wearing liquid lipsticks make the lips. The first step of getting the whole exfoliation thing right is picking the right lip scrub – ahead are some of our favourites!

This brown sugar-based exfoliator buffs away dry skin, leaving your lips smooth and softer. The hardest decision you have to make is what flavour you love most.

This one stays true to its name and works wonders on your lips by scraping off dead skin cells that otherwise makes your lips look dull.
