Spivak Coconut

Here is a coconut oil lip scrub. As you know, coconut not only perfectly moisturizes, but also protects against sunburn, so during the holidays it will become a useful remedy. Shea butter and golden jojoba butter are two more components aimed at restoring the skin, smoothing the relief and elasticity. This is one of the best blends of oils when it comes to hydration and revitalization. Has a pleasant coconut aroma.

Good scrub. Nice texture. Fits well on the lips, perfect for those with cracks or severe dryness. Sugar cleanses quite gently, melts quickly on the skin, perhaps someone will not like it. After it dissolves, oil remains on the lips, it does not even need to be washed off. It moisturizes well. For several hours I still have the feeling that my lips are moisturized, I don't need to use hygienic lipstick.

MI&KO Honey and raspberries

Scrub with honey and raspberry aims to leave your lips smooth, soft and hydrated. After applying the product, a thin layer of oils remains on the lips, which is absorbed into the skin cells, leaving a feeling of comfort for a long time.

And, of course, the world of cosmetics is not without honey. Rich in minerals and vitamins (including vitamin B6), this product perfectly moisturizes, softens, soothes and rejuvenates skin cells.

Not a bad scrub, copes with its role. It seemed to me a little sticky, so I remove the residues with a cotton pad, but the effect is there, the skin becomes moisturized and tender. I think you need to apply such scrubs regularly, then your lips will look well-groomed. Someone may not like the scent, but I didn't really pay attention to it, because it was on my lips for only a few minutes, and after wiping it off, I stopped feeling it.

Sephora

Here is a lip scrub from the French brand SEPHORA COLLECTION, which was founded back in 1996. The manufacturer has used only the finest ingredients to create its products.
In addition to other types of cosmetics, the brand has a line of lip balms with different fragrances. Each of them has its own colorful packaging and its own main ingredient. The pleasant texture is easy to apply to the lips. The scrub has a fragrant fragrance. The second important ingredient in the product is abrasive sugar particles.

The outer and inner packaging is made of cardboard, so be careful when transporting and using.

When you just apply the product, it seems that there is no scrub there, as such, but after one application, when the top layer is removed, abrasive particles appear. There are quite a few of them, I rub the applied layer with my lips for a few minutes, then leave it for 5-7 minutes, and erase it with a cotton pad. The sugar melts, leaving oil on the skin. Peeling goes away with regular use. The taste and aroma of the stick is sweet, I liked it. The packaging was pumped up: it is made of cardboard, so it is better not to leave it in the bathroom and carry it with extreme caution in your purse / pocket.

I was pleased with the composition of the scrub: natural ingredients, made in Jordan. The jar is not very convenient, it is not very pleasant to apply it with your finger on the lips.If the nails are long, the product will fall under the nail plate, then it is difficult to wash it off. It is consumed very economically, an excellent combination of price and composition, it would still be made in the form of a stick.

MIXIT

When creating this scrub, the manufacturer focused on 4 main ingredients. The first is cane sugar. It is ideal for the role of an abrasive, gently cleansing the skin of the lips without damaging it.
Shea Butter (Shea Butter) protects the skin from dehydration and drying out thanks to vitamins and essential fatty acids. Vitamin E - a natural antioxidant - protects the skin from the sun's rays and free radicals, accelerates cell regeneration, keeps the skin young, relieves irritation and the effects of sunburn, evens out skin color, and prevents premature aging.
Soybean oil is known to contain a large amount of linoleic and oleic acids, natural lecithin, a number of salts, vitamins and phytosterols. These ingredients are ideal for dry skin care. Lecithin participates in the formation of new cells, enhances their protective functions. The oil stimulates the formation of collagen and elastin, as a result, fine wrinkles are smoothed out, and skin turgor increases. And one more way to protect from ultraviolet rays.
The next important component is rosemary extract. This plant is often used in cosmetology due to its anti-inflammatory, healing and tonic properties. It improves microcirculation, smoothes the skin relief, induces cell regeneration, fights against age-related skin changes, and also slows down oxidative processes in cells.

The scrub should be applied to clean lips, massaged for a few minutes, and then rinsed with water or wiped off with a damp cloth.

The scrub has a pleasant aroma and light texture. It fits easily on the skin of the lips, it feels like it fills in all the cracks. The particles are quite small, but there are many of them. Suitable for thin and sensitive skin. If done in a stick, I would use it all the time. It is inconvenient to constantly climb into the jar, especially if you have false nails. Yes, and unhygienic. It is consumed sparingly.

Max Factor Miracle Prep Lip Scrub

Here is a lip scrub based on castor oil and shea butter, mango extract and panthenol. Sugar is taken as an abrasive. Candelilla and beeswax moisturize, while jojoba seeds have a soothing effect. The stick has two layers: inside there is a balm, outside - the actual scrub. The product is applied to the lips, left on for a few minutes, then rubbed into the skin with massaging movements. There are not very many sugar particles, so you can not be afraid to damage your lips.
It is important to remember that this is a product of a brand of decorative cosmetics, so this scrub is not suitable for treating deep cracks. It can gently exfoliate dead cells by preparing the surface of the lips for lipstick application.
Country of origin: Germany.

A friend gave this scrub, she wanted to try it for a long time. It is quite dense in texture, with fine abrasive particles. It is better to apply a thick layer on the lips and then rub with your finger. The scrub must be washed off. After the first time, peeling passed, but I wanted to go over with hygienic lipstick on top, so that it was really good. I did not expect a special effect from him, since this is decorative cosmetics after all. You can try it once, but I won't take any more.

Peculiarities

A lip scrub must be used because there are no sebaceous glands on the lips, which means there is no natural nourishment and hydration. We have to assign this task to special care products.

• Before scrubbing, you need to take a cotton pad, moisten it in hot water and apply it to your lips for a couple of minutes so that the skin is slightly steamed (or you can scrub after brushing your teeth). Then wipe them dry, and only then apply the scrub in a circular motion.
• It is better to store the packaging in a dark, dry and cool place.
• You can use the scrub 2 times a week, depending on your skin condition and needs.
• How to determine if there is enough abrasive in a scrub. If, after application, there are no flaky areas left on the lips, then there are enough granules. If scratches appear or those that were before are sick, then the granules are too large. And the rest of the components of the scrub should moisturize and nourish the skin.
• If the scrub contains nourishing oils, it is better not to rinse it off with water, but to gently blot your lips with a napkin to remove the remaining abrasive.
• Whatever one may say, but the scrub still dries the skin of the lips, so if after the end of the scrub there is such a desire, you can apply a nourishing cream or hygienic lipstick on top.
