It's not only the face that we exfoliate. Not many people know this but it is very important to exfoliate lips as well. It is common for lips to become dry and chappie during winter season. They become flakey and start peeling off. It not only hurts badly but it also draws blood at times.Exfoliating lips helps in getting rid of all the dry and dead cells, brings the natural pink hue to the lips and helps the lip balm to penetrate deep into the skin.

Lip scrubs are available in all the good brands and at times they can be expensive to buy therefore the best option is to make the scrub at home quickly within few minutes and with easily available ingredients that you can find in your kitchen.
