Smooth lips start with a clean slate.

What it is
A gentle sugar polish that buffs away the dry, flaky layer that makes lips look rough and lipstick look worse, while oils and hyaluronic acid hydrate underneath. Unlike harsh scrubs, the sugar melts as you massage, so it can't over-exfoliate. Lips come away smooth, soft, and ready for whatever comes next: serum, mask, or color.

Who it's for
Flaky, rough, or weather-beaten lips, lipstick wearers tired of color settling into dry patches, and anyone starting a lip routine: every treatment works better on freshly polished lips. Customers reach for it after sun, wind, and beach days.

Why this works, concern by concern
Dead surface cells make lips look dull and lined and block treatments from absorbing. The fix is exfoliation, but on lip skin it has to be gentle and it has to hydrate at the same time. That's the whole design.

To Buff Away Flakes

The problem: dry, dead skin sits on the lips, catching light and lipstick.

  • Sugar is the ideal lip exfoliant: fine granules slough off dead skin, then dissolve as you massage, so the polish stops working before it can be too much.
To Calm and Brighten

The problem: exfoliation can leave delicate lip skin pink and reactive.

  • Licorice Leaf Extract soothes as you polish and gently evens lip tone over time.
  • Grape Seed Oil tones the freshly polished surface while delivering antioxidants.
And to Hydrate

The finish: exfoliated lips drink in moisture, so give them plenty.

  • Hyaluronic Acid pulls water into the fresh new surface so lips finish the polish plumper than they started.
  • Sunflower and Apricot Oils with Phospholipids replace the lipids lips can't make, leaving them conditioned, not stripped.

What it's like to use
A soft, oil-cushioned sugar paste with a clean peppermint finish. Massage a small amount over the lips in gentle circles, then rinse or wipe away with a damp cloth. Lips feel instantly smoother, slightly tingly from the mint, and perfectly prepped for the Plumping Lip Serum, the Night Lip Mask, or lipstick. Use once or twice a week.

What to expect

Real results take a full skin cycle. Here's an honest timeline.

First use

Instantly smoother lips

The flaky layer is gone and hyaluronic acid moves in. Lipstick applies clean, with nothing to settle into.

Week 2 to 3

Flaking stays away

With a once-or-twice-weekly rhythm, dry buildup stops accumulating and lips stay soft between polishes.

Ongoing

Softer, more even lips

Licorice gently evens tone while consistent gentle exfoliation keeps the surface smooth, plump-looking, and treatment-ready.

Questions, answered

How often should I use it?
Once or twice a week is the sweet spot. Lip skin renews quickly but it's delicate; gentle and consistent beats hard and often.
Will it hurt chapped lips?
Be gentle and brief on actively cracked lips; polish the flakes, not the cracks. The licorice and oils soothe as you go, and customers tell us it's their rescue after sunburn and wind burn. For severely split lips, repair first with the Night Lip Mask, then polish once they've closed up.
Why polish before lipstick?
Lipstick magnifies every flake and dry line. Polished lips give color a smooth, even canvas, so it applies cleaner, sits better, and lasts longer without settling.
How long does a jar last?
A small scoop once or twice a week takes the .5 oz jar through months of polishing.
