Common conclusions
You need to know that it is necessary to ensure your lips are clean and dry before exfoliating. This ensures that any sign of lipstick or polish is removed and accompanied by dry patting.
If you are a DIY type, you should opt for a simple lip scrub recipe that requires items you likely already have in your pantry. You could use sugar, cinnamon, coffee gorunds, etc. You should mix the exfoliating ingredient with an emollient(honey, olive oil, petroleum Jelly, etc.) and you are good to go. If it is not your thing to make your own lip exfoliator, there are plenty of brands on the market that have done the job for you (such as Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask, Innisfree Smooth Lip Scrub, etc).
Now, you are ready to apply it. You should wet your lip with water to soften and then gently rub the swab ingredients over your lips in small circles. You should not over-exfoliating the lips because that can lead to cracks in the skin, which may actually worsen the dryness and scaling.
You should opt for a rich lip balm to hydrate your lips after exfoliation. You should try Chap Stick Moisturizer Skin Protectant/Sunscreen, Aquaphor, Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm, Crème de la Mer The Lip Balm, because all of them will keep your lips soft and healthy.
You should continue moisturizing your lips, especially after exfoliating them.
