5 Best Lip Exfoliators

No one likes having dry, flaky lips – that’s what lip exfoliators are for. They work better than a simple washcloth and sloughing away dead skin and stuck-on long-wear lipstick. Lips look and feel smoother, plumper, and rosier. While not meant for use on severely chapped, cracked lips (you never want to exfoliate irritated skin, especially if there are cuts, which can lead to more pain and even infection), lip exfoliators are a great beauty product for the occasional rough patch around the mouth and lip area. Many are natural, with exfoliating agents like sugar and crushed almonds or cocoa beans. They cost around $10.
