Don’t neglect your lips, keep them hydrated and nourished by including lipcare within your daily skincare routine!

Why did I decide to test the lip scrub and oil from Superdrug?

I’d regularly use a lip balm to keep my lips moisturised throughout the day but have never thought about my lips when it comes to my daily skincare routine. If my lips were feeling clumpy, dry or flaky I would have previously used Vaseline and a face cloth to scrub my lips but this usually left them red and feeling very sore.

Being offered this opportunity by Superdrug to test and review their lip exfoliator and lip oil made me wonder about my current lip care and that maybe I needed to try something less harsh for my lips!

What do these lipcare products claim to do?

The Superdrug Exfoliating Lip Scrub claims that the “shea butter and argan oil helps to smooth dry lips and leave them feeling nourished” whilst the Lip Oil Treatment “hydrate and nourish lips, leaving them feeling soft with a glossy finish“.

So, what’s the word online?

Looking at the Superdrug website there are a fair few reviews saying that the lip scrub made their lips feel nice, soft and hydrated but surprisingly, there were some (not many) reviewer who felt that the lip scrub wasn’t very exfoliating!

There were also a lot of positive reviews about the lip treatment oil, with reviewers saying that the oil made their lips feel nourished, moisturised and hydrated, and that this lip oil is their go-to product rather than lip balms.

What was my initial thoughts of the lip scrub and the lip oil?

I loved the cute colours in the packaging and the products were so easy to apply. Neither product felt heavy and both had a subtle but lovely smell to them.

How did I use these products?

I used both of these products as part of my morning and evening skincare routine. So firstly, I’d apply a good amount of lip scrub to my lips, rub them together, and then gently wipe the lip scrub off using a damp face cloth. After dabbing my lips dry, I then applied the treatment oil and wallah – nice, soft, and hydrated lips 💋!

Did the Superdrug exfoliating lip scrub and lip oil treatment meet my expectations?

I didn’t know what to expect as before this trial, I wasn’t really aware of specific lip exfoliating products.

Personally, I thought both the lip scrub and lip treatment oil from Superdrug were great at what they were designed to do – “smooth dry lips and leave them feeling nourished” and to “hydrate and nourish lips, leaving them feeling soft”!

I will continue to use both the lip scrub and lip oil and would definitely recommend these to others.
