💋 The Truth About Lip Care—It’s Not Just About Scrubbing

Let’s be real—most of us were never really taught how to care for our lips beyond “put on some chapstick.” And if you’re like me, you probably thought that dry lips just meant you needed to scrub harder or use more balm.

But here’s the truth: your lips are skin too—and not just any skin. The skin on your lips is thinner and more delicate than the rest of your face. That means it needs different care, not more force.

After years of trial and error, I realized I was making three big mistakes:

❌ The 3 Lip Scrub Mistakes I Was Making

1. Over-scrubbing
I used to think the harder I scrubbed, the smoother my lips would be. But harsh exfoliation actually causes microtears and irritation—especially when you're using rough sugar scrubs or pressing too hard.

2. Using synthetic or harmful ingredients
Petroleum-based lip products might feel good for a moment, but they don’t heal—they just coat. They can block moisture from entering your skin and may even trap bacteria underneath.

3. Not nourishing afterward
Even when I exfoliated gently, I made the mistake of wiping everything off and walking away. That left my lips exposed and vulnerable. They needed hydration and protection—not just exfoliation.

🌿 Why AJ’s EO Infusions Lip Butter Scrub Works Differently

When I started handcrafting my own scrub, I knew I needed more than just sugar and oils—I needed healing. That’s why I infuse our Lip Butter Scrub with:

• Lavender – to soothe irritation and reduce inflammation
  

• Peppermint – to stimulate circulation and provide a natural tingle
  

• Frankincense – to support skin regeneration and overall healing
  

The result? A melt-in scrub that stays on your lips—no rinsing or wiping needed. It’s a true lip ritual that softens, hydrates, and heals in one step.

💡 Tip: Apply before bed to wake up with your softest lips ever.

✨ Real Ritual, Real Results

When you turn your routine into a ritual, it becomes a moment of care—not just another step on your to-do list. My glow-up came not just from a better product, but from taking the time to slow down and listen to what my lips were telling me.

And that’s what I want to share with you—not just a product, but a way to tune in to your body, your beauty, and your worth.
