Lip treatments/balms/scrubs

[jm1211]

I know this has been asked before but the search function isn't working for me, sorry!

Ever since I got braces my lips are a mess; cracked, peeling and just gross. Can you guys recommend a good lip treatment/balm or scrub? I've been using chapstick but that really doesn't help.

I like the Elf lip exfoliater.

Paulas choice has a great lip balm. I also like Sugar products.

For a scrub you could just mix together some coconut oil and sugar, or olive oil and sugar. I like to do that then slap some aquaphor on my lips.

Ditto the diy sugar and coconut oil scrub.

I also like aquaphor when my lips get very dry.

I use the Paula's choice lip scrub. I added it to an order on a whim and glad I did. I use it prelipstick and it makes a difference. Otherwise I second the sugar and coconut oil as well. That's my old standby.

Jack Black Lip Therapy.

Rainbow Honey has some nice lip scrubs.

I love the Bite agave lip mask. It can take my lips from a dried out mess to great within 2 applications. It is expensive, but it lasts a long time. I think I got it a year ago and I have only used half the tube. I use it at least once every day.

I love my Lush lip scrubs, but those were gifts. I wouldn't pay for them myself. They're essentially sugar and oil. They last forever though.

And aquaphor for moisture. I put a thick coat on at night. I carry a tube of chapstick moisturizing (the blue tube) at all times during the day. But it's the aquaphor that really helps.

Lush popcorn sugar scrub followed by the honey trap lip balm!

I second the Lush popcorn scrub (and it's delicious) but I follow up with Carmex.

The search isn't working for me either.

I love the elf lip exfoliator, but in a pinch a diy version works great.

I have tried both Lush and currently using Sara Happ (before then, I did DIY coconut oil + brown sugar).

I like Kiehl's for during the day and a thick layer of Bag Balm while I'm sleeping.

Thanks for the input, I'm going to definitely give the diy option a try as far as a scrub. I'm going to pick up a few things today and will report back what worked for me. Looking forward to fixing my poor lips!
