Dealing with dry, flaky lips that make lipstick application a challenge? This gentle yet effective lip scrub is your first step towards a smooth, supple pout, especially in Mauritius where sun, wind, and air-conditioning can take their toll on delicate lip skin.

Chapped, peeling lips can be uncomfortable and frustrating. This creamy scrub is designed to gently buff away dead skin, revealing a softer, healthier surface ready for your favourite lip balm or colour.

• Who it's for: Anyone with dry, flaky, or chapped lips.
• What it does: Gently exfoliates dead skin cells for a smooth, soft finish.
• Key Ingredients: Walnut Shell Powder (Natural Exfoliant), Shea Butter (Nourishing).
• Texture: A creamy paste with fine, exfoliating particles.

1. Prep Lips: Ensure lips are clean and slightly damp.
2. THIS PRODUCT: Gently massage a small amount over lips for 20-30 seconds.
3. Hydrate: Rinse thoroughly and immediately follow with a nourishing lip balm or lip mask.

Note: Already own a lip balm you love? Use that to finish! The goal is to exfoliate, then hydrate and protect.

• Amount: A pearl-sized amount is enough for both lips.
• Frequency: 1-2 times per week, preferably in your evening routine to allow for overnight healing.
• Method:
  1. Apply the scrub to clean, damp lips.
  2. Using your fingertip, gently massage in a circular motion for about 20-30 seconds. Do not apply harsh pressure.
  3. Rinse off completely with lukewarm water.
  4. Pat lips dry and immediately apply a generous layer of lip balm or a lip sleeping mask to protect the newly exfoliated skin.

Watchouts: A tingling sensation is not normal. If you feel any stinging or rawness, you are scrubbing too hard or too often. Reduce pressure and frequency.

Safety: Do not use on broken, cracked, or bleeding lips. Wait for them to heal first. Discontinue use if a rash or irritation develops.

A lip scrub is a supplementary treatment, not a daily step. Integrate it into your weekly self-care routine.

• Example Week (PM Focus):
  • Wednesday & Sunday Evening: After cleansing your face, use the Lip Scrub. Follow immediately with a thick layer of a lip sleeping mask, like the LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask, for intensive overnight nourishment.
  • Other Nights: Simply apply your regular lip balm before bed.

Mauritius Note: After a day at the beach, your lips might be extra dry from sun and salt. An evening lip scrub followed by a hydrating mask can help restore softness and prevent peeling.

• Immediately: Lips feel instantly smoother and softer. Flakes and rough patches are visibly reduced. Lip products apply more evenly.
• After 2-4 Weeks: With consistent use (1-2 times a week) and regular lip balm application, you may notice a reduction in chronic chapping and peeling.
• After 8+ Weeks: Lips maintain a healthier, smoother state, making them less prone to severe dryness and cracking.

• Why use this, not a DIY sugar scrub? While DIY sugar scrubs are popular, large sugar crystals can have sharp edges that cause micro-tears on delicate lip skin. This formulated scrub uses finely milled walnut shell powder suspended in a creamy, nourishing shea butter base, designed to provide effective exfoliation with a lower risk of irritation.
• Is a physical scrub safe? The concern with physical exfoliants like walnut shell powder is often about harshness. This product is designed for the lips, and the key is technique: use very gentle pressure for a short duration (under 30 seconds). It's a tool for buffing, not sanding. If your lips are actively cracked or sore, wait for them to heal.

• Works Well With:
  • Lip Balms & Masks: Essential. Always follow exfoliation with a hydrating product to protect the fresh layer of skin. The LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask EX [BERRY] is an excellent choice for intensive overnight repair.
  • Lip Oils: A product like the A'pieu HONEY&MILK LIP OIL(PEACH) can be applied after scrubbing for a comfortable, glossy, and moisturised feel during the day.
• Use Carefully:
  • Matte Liquid Lipsticks: This scrub is perfect for prepping lips *before* applying drying matte lipsticks. Do not apply the scrub after, as it can cause irritation and smudging.
• Avoid On:
  • Broken or Sore Lips: Never exfoliate skin that is actively cracked, bleeding, or has open sores like a cold sore. Allow the skin to heal completely first.

• Dry, flaky, or peeling lips
• Dull lip surface
• Uneven texture that causes patchy lipstick application
• Buildup of dead skin from dryness or matte lip products

• Official Korean Name: 에프엠지티 립 스크럽 (FMGT Lip Scrub)
• PAO (Period After Opening): Typically 12 months.

• Halal Status: Halal-Friendly*. This product does not contain alcohol (ethanol/denat.) or animal derivatives considered haram.

Key Actives Explained:

• Juglans Regia (Walnut) Shell Powder: A natural, biodegradable physical exfoliant. The finely ground powder gently buffs away dead, flaky skin from the lip surface.
• Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter: A rich emollient that nourishes and moisturises the lips. It forms a protective barrier that helps prevent moisture loss, leaving lips soft and conditioned after scrubbing.

Full INCI List: Water, Glycerin, Cetearyl Alcohol, Macadamia Ternifolia (Macadamia) Seed Oil, Propanediol, Phytosteryl/Isostearyl/Cetyl/Stearyl/Behenyl Dimer Dilinoleate, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Dimethicone, Dipentaerythrityl Hexa C5-9 Acid Esters, Juglans Regia (Walnut) Shell Powder, 1,2-Hexanediol, Glyceryl Stearate, Dipropylene Glycol, PEG-100 Stearate, Beeswax, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Fragrance, Tocopheryl Acetate, Disodium EDTA.

• Fragrance: Contains added fragrance ("Parfum/Fragrance"). It is often described as having a pleasant, sweet, or slightly nutty scent. Intensity: 2/5 (Noticeable but not overpowering).
• EU Allergens: The full list of potential fragrance allergens is not published by the brand. If you have known sensitivities to fragrances, a patch test is highly recommended.
• Nut Allergen Note: Contains Walnut Shell Powder and Macadamia Seed Oil. While processed for cosmetic use, those with severe nut allergies should exercise caution and perform a patch test.

Who should use with caution: Individuals with extremely sensitive skin, active cold sores, cracked or bleeding lips, or known nut allergies.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a small amount of the scrub to a less visible area, like the corner of your lips or on your inner arm.
2. Gently massage and rinse as you would in normal use.
3. Wait 24 hours to observe for any signs of redness, itching, or irritation.
4. If no reaction occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use. Discontinue use immediately if any irritation develops.

Kids/Teens: Suitable for teens experiencing chapped lips. Not recommended for young children. As with all skincare, adult supervision is advised for younger users.

• Texture: A smooth, creamy paste containing fine, grainy particles. Spreads easily on the lips.
• Finish: After rinsing, lips feel soft and smooth, without a greasy or oily residue.
• Scent: Mildly sweet and pleasant.
• pH: Not published by the brand, but as a rinse-off product, its pH is less critical than for a leave-on treatment.

• Issue: My lips feel raw or sensitive after use.
  • Fix: You are likely using too much pressure or exfoliating too frequently. Reduce usage to once a week and use very light, circular motions for no more than 30 seconds. Always follow with a thick, calming lip balm.
• Issue: My lips are still flaky even after using the scrub.
  • Fix: Exfoliation is only half the battle. You must follow up with consistent hydration. Apply a rich lip balm multiple times a day and a lip sleeping mask at night to prevent new flakes from forming.

In our tropical environment, lips are exposed to strong sun, sea salt, and wind, which can lead to dryness and peeling. Furthermore, spending time in air-conditioned spaces can quickly dehydrate the delicate skin on your lips.

• Humid Summer: Use 1-2 times a week to create a smooth canvas for lightweight lip tints and balms.
• Drier Winter/AC Exposure: Essential for managing the increased flakiness that comes with drier air. Follow up with a richer lip mask to combat moisture loss.

After exfoliating, protecting and hydrating your lips is crucial. Pair this scrub with these in-catalog essentials:

• Intensive Overnight Repair (PM)
  • THE FACE SHOP FMGT Lip Scrub — To create a smooth surface.
  • LANEIGE LIP SLEEPING MASK EX [BERRY] 20G — Apply a thick layer after scrubbing to deeply moisturise and repair lips overnight.
• Daily Hydration & Shine (AM)
  • THE FACE SHOP FMGT Lip Scrub — Use as needed to prep lips.
  • A'pieu HONEY&MILK LIP OIL(PEACH) 5G — A nourishing, non-sticky oil for a glossy, hydrated look during the day.
  • Torriden SOLID IN Ceramide Lip Essence 11ml — A perfect daily balm to maintain barrier health and prevent chapping.

This lip scrub is an excellent choice if your primary goal is to physically buff away dry, flaky skin for an instantly smoother feel.

Currently, there are no other dedicated lip scrubs in our catalog, but consider these approaches for lip care:

• If you need intensive moisture without exfoliation: Focus on a dedicated lip mask. The LANEIGE LIP SLEEPING MASK EX [BERRY] 20G provides deep, overnight hydration to soften and plump lips.
• If you prefer a gentle, leave-on treatment: A lip essence with barrier-supporting ingredients like the Torriden SOLID IN Ceramide Lip Essence 11ml can help improve lip texture over time without physical scrubbing.

Mindful-use: If you already have a lip scrub at home that you enjoy, there’s no need to add another right now—finish what you have first to see how your lips respond before trying something new.

• Format: A 10g soft plastic squeeze tube with a screw-on cap. The design is hygienic as it prevents direct contact with the remaining product.
• Applicator: Dispenses directly from the tube onto your fingertip.
• Sustainability: The tube is plastic. Please check with local Mauritian recycling guidelines for disposal. The exfoliating particles are natural walnut shells, which are biodegradable.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, like a drawer or cabinet.

Here’s a summary of genuine, independent user feedback. (Note: These are anecdotes; individual results will vary.)

• An Amazon customer review (2024-05) praised it for being effective at smoothing lips for matte lipstick, noting, "It gets rid of all the dead skin and leaves my lips super soft. The shea butter makes it feel moisturizing, not stripping."
• A YesStyle review (2024-03) highlighted the texture, stating, "The particles are fine enough not to be too harsh, but you can definitely feel them working. It has a nice sweet smell too."
• A fair caveat from a Reddit, r/AsianBeauty thread (2022-03) mentioned, "It works well, but be careful not to scrub too hard. The first time I used it with too much pressure and my lips were a bit tender. A gentle touch is all you need."
