Summer is all about protecting your skin and often times, your lips end up forgotten. In addition to making sure they’re slathered with SPF in summer months, it’s important that you take extra care to avoid dry, chapped lips that also come with warm summer temperatures.
Exposure to the sun and salt water can both factor into your lips getting dry and dehydrated and the best way to prevent this is by giving your lips a little extra love. Lip scrubs are similar to a balm but help to exfoliate your lips as you use it. The result is soft, supple lips that look radiant!
