I love wearing lipstick, but I’m less crazy about the way my lips can look flaky underneath lip color. It’s probably a sign that I should drink more water, less coffee, but reaching for a lip scrub works wonders, too. Aceology Passionfruit Refining Lip Scrub gently buffs my lips when they’re looking chapped and it smells amazing—sweet, like passionfruit. “The sugar granules are gritty enough to slough off dead skin—and in turn, make your lips silky-soft—but not so harsh that you're left feeling raw. I like using it at night to help create a smooth, even canvas for my lipstick the next morning,” says Allure’s Dianna Mazzone Singh. You squeeze a teeny bit onto a clean fingertip, massage the scrub in circular motions over your lips for about 30 seconds, and then rinse it away and top with the lip color or treatment of your choice—balm, lipstick, gloss, you name it.
