The Utah climate is brutal on my skin and lips, especially the winter, and I'm always fighting dry, flaky lips when trying to apply lipstick. I found this exfoliating scrub last time I was in San Francisco and could visit an actual Sephora store, and it's perfect for preparing my lips for gloss. I just rub on a small amount until my lips are smooth and then wipe off with a tissue. It's like a mini-facial for my lips and feels totally indulgent. Jon doesn't mind it either.
