I remember the days when Sara Happ brought out the first commercial lip scrub, a bargain at around £20 per tiny pot. Since then, everyone's had a go, and my absolute favourite lip scrubs are made by Lush. This Popcorn scrub uses a combination of sugar, oil and salt to exfoliate and moisturise the lips.
And damn, it's a good exfoliator - my lips are incredibly smooth after use, in perfect condition for the most matte of lipsticks. Let's be honest, most of the feeling of moisturisation comes as a side effect from scrubbing off the dead skin, and a little bit from the included oils - super dry lips will still need a good slick of balm afterwards.
The buttery, caramel-y taste is glorious, and if you're a bit greedy like me, you might let a little more scrub pass through your lips than is strictly necessary. No harm, though, as the ingredients are all edible - there's even a bit of popping candy in there. And at £5.50, it's a fair bit cheaper than the still iconic Sara Happ.
