The Body Shop Lipscuff

Up until early last year, the thought of exfoliating my lips had never occurred to me. That is until I stumbled across the Lush lip scrubs. I fell in love, bought them all and used them regulary. One day, for whatever bizzare reason (I think it was mainly curiosity!) I ended up eating around 1/3 of the jar.. it's described as edible after all and is made from oil and sugar. Unfortunately I was violently sick the same day, and it put me off the lip scrubs for life - I can't stand the scent of them at all now, especially the bubblegum one and I gave them to one of my friends who is a Lush addict ... more

I bought this product in the hope that it would cure my lips of their permanently dry, flaky appearance, which no amount of balm, gloss or anything else seems to have an impact on. It costs £7.80, which is about what I would expect to pay for this type of product, just as long as it works. It comes in a lovely looking lipstick style tube, which is much nicer than the old version pictured above. It’s a black plastic tube with a silver metallic effect lid, which looks very stylish and high quality. It’s a twist-bottom tube, which you just twist to get the product to the top of the tube so you ... more

Whilst looking around the shops the other week, I decided to see if I could find anything for my lips which had become quite dry and flaky. I ended up buying two products – Blistex revitalising cream and the body shop lipscuff. I have decided to use the body shop stuff first properly as the Blistex one you have to put on before bed etc and it is strong stuff, and im to tired at bedtime to fuss over my lips at the moment. PRODUCT The body shop lipscuff is basically a minty flavoured lip balm with small gritty pieces in it. You are supposed to use it like any other lip balm but the gritty pieces ... more

Dermatologically tested." --Packaging-- Sleek, unisex and very very handy. Has a silver lid and a black base, with the Body Shop logo burnished onto the slanted top of the lid. --Application-- As you would a normal lip product: pull off the lid and apply directly to the lips. --Appearance-- The stick itself is green, but on the ... more

I recently purchased The Body Shop's Lip Scuff (£7.50) and am absolutely thrilled with it! At the time the price seemed a little expensive for my budget, but having used it I feel that it is worth every penny. It works as an exfoliant for the lips, using crushed fig stone granules to gently remove dry and flaky skin. It has a mild, minty aroma to it, helping to sooth sore lips and contains two moisturising agents, marula oil and organic beeswax, to keep lips soft and supple. I bought the Lip Scuff because of my eczema and although the instructions say to use one to two times a week or as ... more
