DIY lip exfoliator – Use a soft toothbrush and vaseline to exfoliate and remove dead skin from your lips to keep them smooth and easy to apply lipstick. But keep sloughing to just once a week. “The skin on your lips is extra-sensitive and doesn’t regenerate as quickly as facial skin.” If you want to really get to it, add some sugar with the vaseline.
