Tired of hearing “exfoliate your lips with a dry toothbrush”
Sara Happ wanted to create an exfoliating product for her lips that was as
effective as those she used for the rest of her body.
As someone who also suffers with extreme flaky lips and who
has also used various methods of removing this annoying flaky patch on the most
prominent part of my face I was keen to try it out.
Sara Happ’s products hit the shelves in 2008 and since then
she has developed more products within the range.
The line up today
includes lip scrub in various scents, lip slip balm and gloss and now a body
scrub.
Most of us get dry lips, especially in the winter months and
although using lip balms is a great remedy they are not always the only
solution. You need to eliminate the rough skin and gently exfoliate it away and
regular body scrubs can be too abrasive on the delicate lip.
The lip scrubs each come in a cute little box containing a
30g pot of scrub.
The scrubs are mainly
made up from sucrose (sugar), Grape, seed oil, jojoba and flavourings for the
scent.
The scrub texture feels oily and the scrubbing particles are
very fine. When massaging in the texture is softly gritty and does not feel
harsh or particularly abrasive. The oil it contains helps to make the
exfoliation comfortable and moisturising whilst sloughing off the dry skin.
Obviously try not to
ingest this product but it doesn’t have an unpleasant taste and you because the
sugar particles dissolve you are not left feeling like you are chewing on
stones!
The varieties you can choose from include Blood Orange (my
fave), Brown Sugar, Vanilla Bean, Crème Brule, Pink Grapefruit and Green Apple.
They will all give
you the same result, just depends on your personal preference for the scent
with regards to which one you go for.
The Lip Slip one luxe balm provides the same style pot but
contains a thick, creamy balm to put the moisture back into the lips.
Containing sweet
Almond Oil, Jojoba and Macadamia nut oil this feels creamy rather than sticky
and lips feel silky with a soft gloss like finish.
No real colour once
on the lips and you can wear it alone or over the top of your favourite
lipstick.
If you prefer not to
dip your fingers in a pot you can opt for the tube version that you can squeeze
directly onto the lips.
A really simple, easy to use range that does exactly what
you expect it to do and packaged so perfectly you don’t want to use it.
I would recommend you use the scrub twice a week for
maintenance or each more for severely dry lips.
The balm I would
slather on at every opportunity.
Each lip scrub and the lip balm are £19.00 each and the Body Scrub is £36.00
