🫧 Step 1 • Start with Smooth Lips

Just like skincare, I think lip care starts with a clean, smooth base. I like gentle exfoliation every so often to help my lips feel fresh before applying hydrating products.

I don't exfoliate every day—just once or twice a week when my lips feel a little rough. It helps my lip balm go on more smoothly and makes my lips feel refreshed.

e.l.f. Brown Sugar Flavored Lip Exfoliator

I like using a soft silicone scrubber because it feels gentle and easy to clean. It's a simple addition that makes exfoliating feel more like a little self-care ritual.

Lip Scrub Brush Double-Sided Silicone

I like using this when my lips feel a little rough. It leaves them feeling smooth without being too harsh, and it makes the rest of my lip care routine feel even more effective.

Nighttime is when I like to apply a richer lip treatment so I wake up with lips that feel soft and ready for the day.

This has become a staple in my nighttime routine. I apply a generous layer before bed, and it's one of the products I consistently reach for because I enjoy how soft my lips feel the next morning.

💄 Step 4 • Prep Before Lipstick

A little prep makes lipstick apply more smoothly and feel more comfortable throughout the day.

I don't use a lip primer every day, but I like having one for special occasions when I want my lipstick to apply more evenly.

👜 Step 5 • Lip Care On the Go

These are the little essentials I like to keep in my bag so I'm never without lip care when I'm out.

I keep all my lip products together in a small pouch so they're easy to find. It saves me from digging through my bag every time I need a lip balm.

It's a simple accessory, but I like having a mirror nearby for quick touch-ups when I'm away from home.
