Updated 05/10/12 3:48 PM · Posted by · 0 comments


Rough, peeling lips underneath your favorite matte lipstick (or any lipstick for that matter) are never a good thing. Enter your salvation: Fresh Sugar Lip Polish ($23). Unlike most lip scrubs, Fresh's formula doesn't shy away from coarse crystals. The brown sugar granules slough away dead skin, giving your lips a smooth finish, while shea butter, jojoba oil, and grapeseed oil lend moisture. Plus, an extra burst of vitamin E helps protects your reserves of collagen and elastin. And if you haven't tried this lip scrub's body polish brother, then you've yet to discover how sweet an exfoliator sugar can be.
