Dealing with dry, flaky lips that make your lip tint or lipstick look patchy can be frustrating. This gentle scrub is designed to solve just that, creating a smooth canvas for flawless application.

• What it is: A creamy lip scrub that uses fine walnut shell powder to gently buff away dead skin cells.
• Who it's for: Anyone with dry, chapped, or flaky lips who wants a smoother texture. Excellent for prepping lips before applying lip color.
• What to expect: Immediately softer, smoother lips after the first use. Lip balms and lip tints will apply more evenly and look better.

1. Dampen Lips: Start with clean, damp lips.
2. GENTLY Scrub (THIS PRODUCT): Take a tiny amount and massage very gently for 20-30 seconds. Do not press hard.
3. Rinse & Moisturise: Rinse with lukewarm water and immediately follow with a nourishing lip balm or lip mask to protect your newly smoothed skin.

Note: Already own a lip scrub? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).

As-Needed Use (1-2 times per week):

• Amount: A very small scoop, about half the size of a pea.
• Apply to: Damp lips.
• Method: Using your fingertip, massage in very light, gentle circular motions for about 20-30 seconds. The fine particles do the work, so no pressure is needed.
• Rinse & Follow-up: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry. Immediately apply a hydrating lip balm or sleeping mask to moisturize and protect.
• Frequency: Start with once a week. If your lips are very flaky, you may increase to twice a week. Do not use daily.

If-This / Then-That:

• If your lips are very chapped but not broken: Use the scrub very gently, then apply a thick layer of a lip sleeping mask overnight.
• If you wear matte or liquid lipsticks: Use this scrub as a prep step before makeup to ensure a smooth, non-flaky application.
• If your lips feel raw after use: You are scrubbing too hard or too often. Reduce frequency and use much lighter pressure.

Safety: Do not use on broken, cracked, or bleeding lips. Wait for them to heal first. Discontinue use if a burning rash occurs. For teens, this is a suitable product for addressing chapped lips, but always follow with a protective lip balm.

This is a treatment product, not for daily use. A good routine focuses on gentle removal of flakes followed by consistent hydration.

Example Week:

• Sunday Night: Use the Honey & Milk Lip Scrub, followed by a thick layer of a lip sleeping mask overnight.
• Monday - Saturday: Apply a hydrating lip balm or essence as needed throughout the day and before bed.
• Wednesday (Optional): If lips feel flaky again mid-week, you can use the scrub a second time, followed by a lip mask.

Rules: Always be gentle. The goal is to remove loose flakes, not to scrub your lips raw. Consistent hydration on other days is more important than frequent scrubbing.

• Immediate: Lips will feel noticeably smoother and softer right after the first use. Any flaky patches will be reduced or gone.
• 1-2 Weeks: With regular use (1-2 times per week) and consistent moisturizing, lips will appear healthier and feel more supple. Lip color application will be significantly improved.
• 4+ Weeks: Chronic chapping and flakiness should be well-managed, with lips maintaining a smooth, hydrated state as long as you continue to moisturize daily.

• Why this, not a harsh DIY sugar scrub? While DIY sugar scrubs are popular, large sugar or salt crystals can have sharp edges that create micro-tears on the delicate skin of your lips, leading to more irritation. This scrub uses finely milled walnut shell powder for a more uniform and gentle exfoliation.
• Why this, not just licking your lips? Licking your lips provides temporary relief but actually makes them drier. Saliva contains enzymes that break down the skin's barrier, leading to a cycle of chapping. A proper scrub and balm routine removes flakes and adds lasting moisture.

• Works Well With: Hydrating lip balms, lip sleeping masks (like LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask), lip oils, and lip essences (like Torriden SOLID IN Ceramide Lip Essence). Using these products after scrubbing is essential to lock in moisture.
• Use Carefully With: N/A for this product type. The main caution is about the state of your skin.
• Avoid On: Do not use on lips that are actively cracked, bleeding, sunburnt, or have open sores. Let them heal completely before exfoliating.

This product is suitable for all skin types, as it targets the condition of the lips rather than facial skin type.

• Dry/Chapped Lips: Excellent. This is the primary target for this product.
• Sensitive Skin: Use with a very gentle touch. The mechanical action can be irritating if done too forcefully. Patch test on a small area first.
• Oily/Normal Skin: Also suitable, as anyone can experience lip flakiness.

• Dry, flaky skin on the lips
• Chapped lips
• Dullness and poor texture on lips
• Uneven application of lipstick or lip tint due to flakiness

Full INCI List:

Water, Mineral Oil, Juglans Regia (Walnut) Shell Powder, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Polysorbate 60, Honey Extract, Milk Protein Extract, Glycerin, Stearic Acid, PEG-100 Stearate, 1,2-Hexanediol, Sorbitan Stearate, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Dimethicone, Caprylyl Glycol, Triethanolamine, Sorbitan Isostearate, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance, Carbomer, Disodium EDTA.

• Fragrance Status: Contains added fragrance ("Parfum").
• Scent Profile: A sweet, comforting scent reminiscent of honey and milk. Intensity: 2/5 (noticeable but not overpowering).
• Allergen Note: Contains Milk Protein Extract, which could be a potential concern for individuals with a topical milk allergy. Contains Walnut Shell Powder; while nut allergies are typically related to ingestion, those with severe nut allergies should exercise caution and patch test.

• Who should use with caution: Individuals with very sensitive skin or known allergies to milk or walnuts.
• Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a small amount to a patch of skin on your inner arm. Wait 24 hours. If no irritation, redness, or itching occurs, it is likely safe to use on your lips.
• If Irritation Occurs: Stop use immediately. If you feel any stinging or burning during use, rinse it off right away. If irritation persists, seek advice from a professional.
• Usage Precaution: This is a physical scrub. Aggressive rubbing can cause irritation and micro-tears. Always use a gentle touch.

• Texture: A thick, creamy paste with fine, gritty particles.
• Finish: After rinsing, lips are left feeling smooth, soft, and prepped for balm or color.
• Scent: Sweet and milky.
• FA Compatibility: Contains Polysorbate 60 and Stearic Acid which can potentially trigger Fungal Acne (Malassezia Folliculitis) in susceptible individuals, though this is less common on the lips. Individual responses vary.

• Issue: My lips feel raw or tender after using it.
  • Solution: You are scrubbing too hard or too frequently. Reduce usage to once a week and apply with very light pressure. Let the fine particles do the work, not the force of your finger.
• Issue: My lips still feel dry after scrubbing.
  • Solution: You must follow up immediately with a hydrating product. Exfoliation removes the outer dry layer, but you need to add moisture back right away with a good lip balm or lip mask to protect the new skin underneath.

This lip scrub is perfectly suited for the Mauritian climate year-round.

• Humid Summer: Helps to keep lips smooth and prepped, ensuring lip tints and balms don't feel heavy or slip on a smooth surface.
• Drier Winter/AC Exposure: An essential tool for combating the chapping and flakiness caused by drier air and constant air conditioning. It helps your lip balms absorb better and be more effective.
• Beach Days: After exposure to sun, salt, and wind, lips can become very dry. Use this scrub gently in the evening (not on sunburnt lips!) to remove flaky skin and follow with a deeply nourishing lip mask.

We recommend starting with once a week. You can increase to a maximum of twice a week if your lips are particularly flaky, but daily use is not advised as it can lead to irritation.

Can I use this on chapped lips that are cracked or bleeding?

No. You should never use a physical exfoliant on broken skin. Wait until your lips have healed before using the scrub to remove any remaining flaky skin.

Is this product edible since it contains honey and milk?

No. While it has a pleasant scent, this is a cosmetic product and is not safe for ingestion. Please rinse it off completely after use.
