Do you find yourself constantly picking at your lips or biting them to get the chapped skin off? Do you show up to a shoot excited to do beautiful makeup only to discover the model has been chewing on her lips for weeks and there’s no way to get them smooth and supple in a short amount of time ? Well, LUSH has created an incredible product to do the impossible without a lot of time or mess involved. There are many lip scrub products on the market that require you to exfoliate, wash, then put an overly emollient moisturizer on the lips and allow time for it to absorb. With this lip scrub from LUSH you take a little bit out of the jar, rub into your lips and the exciting part is this product is 100% Vegan and is edible! You just lick your lips and you’ve exfoliated, moisturized and had a yummy treat.

LUSH has created three very delicious flavors:
Mint Julips Lip Scrub
My Favorite! With Peppermint Oil and Vanilla Extract to give it a deliciously minty flavor.

Sweet Lips
Chocoholics will cheer for this Milk Chocolate flavored scrub using Vanilla Extract, Jojoba Oil and Cocoa Extract

Bubble Gum
This one is bright pink with Castor Sugar and Jojoba Oil, it really does taste like bubblegum!

A girlfriend of mine recently introduced me to a mask that “made her skin feel amazing”. Being one of those women with overly sensitive skin, I’ve run at lightning speed from every mask, scrub, peel and “miracle product” my entire life. Everything I try either burns, itches or ends up causing more problems than it is ever worth. Not to mention the money I waste! My friend kept insisting that I give this mask a try so one afternoon we prepped our faces and smeared on this old school smelling, pink, creamy gel. Within 60 seconds I could feel the tightening begin and mentally clenched my teeth as I waited for the inevitable burning, itching rash to start. Even though the tightness became more intense- surprisingly it had no adverse side effects… so far.

With the mask quickly working its magic on our faces, we sat back and waited. I couldn’t stop laughing because of how tight this mask felt. When I finally got the mask to give a little I had these really deep grooved wrinkle lines from the drying product clinging to my face. It was like a plastic wrapped vice grip. The laughing only intensified as we looked at each other with the tight mask and crazy wrinkles. We now knew what we would look like 50 years from now! Within 20 minutes we started to emulsify the mask with lukewarm water then washed it off with a damp cloth. Still no adverse affects!

I was amazed at how my skin appeared! My enlarged pores were now visibly smaller and I didn’t have a rash or severe reaction. In the back of my mind I told myself, just wait, in a day or two your acne will become hyper active and you’ll curse this adventure, along with all the other failed attempts to find amiable products for your skin. Several days went by and nothing but happy skin. Within a week of this experience I went to my local Merle Norman Salon and bought the mask for myself. I have used it several times and each time the tightness of the product, as it dries, still makes me laugh.

If my information source is correct, this product has never been re-formulated and is one of their original products when Merle Norman started over 75 years ago! It just goes to show you that some things our mothers and grandmothers used are still the best things out there! Give this mask a try. You will be very happy you did!
