There are several lip exfoliating scrubs, some quite inexpensive, but (as mentioned), it's quite easy to make your own with some sugar and any sort of moist base (petroleum jelly, melted-down lip balm, whatever). You can also use a toothbrush on your lips, as they did back before the over-specialization of cosmetics.

Sugar and oil (olive, sweet almond, canola...whatever you got in your kitchen) makes a great scrub. Don't scrub too much or you'll get chapped peeling lips.
The oils in lemon are good for the skin, plus there is a slight antiseptic quality that helps if there is any sort of other issue at root of the flakiness. A lemon/sugar scrub with no moisturizing agent is just going to be more about removing the flakes; you STILL need something to moisturize the lips to prevent the problem, ya know?Originally Posted by GlitzGlam /img/forum/go_quote.gif
Someone told me sugar and lemon but im thinking the lemon would dry my lips even more.....
