The next time you’re exfoliating the dead skin and dirt off of your face, consider rubbing some of the exfoliant over your lips as well.  Your lips are a delicate part of your face and should be treated with respect.

Are you exfoliating your lips regularly? Well you should!

5 Reasons You Should be Exfoliating Your Lips

1. It’s easy. You don’t have to do anything special. Just include the step next time you exfoliate your face. The same stuff you use there can also be used on your lips. Or you could pick up a dedicated lip exfoliator like Philosophy Kiss Me Exfoliating Lip Scrub or Benefit Lipscription.
2. Exfoliated lips give a smooth surface for lip stick. Lip stick will glide on smoother and look better than if you hadn’t exfoliated. You want your lip stick to look good, right?
3. It gets rid of dead skin. Dead skin is yuck. Seriously. Exfoliating renews the skin on your lips and removes the peeling dry skin that can cling to unexfoliated lips.
4. It gets rid of makeup residue. Having a hard time getting rid of that lip stain with a traditional makeup remover? Have no fear. Exfoliate. The little beads will rub your old makeup away.
5. It makes you kissable. Just watch. Once you exfoliate your lips, that guy you’ve had your eye on will be all about it. Or at least there’s a higher chance of that happening anyway.

See? There’s no reason not to exfoliate.

Be cautious, though. If you overdo it, you could damage your pucker. Be gentle when rubbing away your lip impurities.
