I finished my first little tub of lipscrub that I made with jojoba oil and brown sugar. I made a new batch using macadamia nut oil, a touch of jojoba and brown sugar - am loving this! Since using these scrubs I have definitely noticed a difference in my lips
After using the scrub, I pat them dry on a towel and sometimes see flakes still, so I really gently rub them with my finger, then slather on some more scrub but just let it sit there a while. Macadamia nut oil is great...it is so rich and moisturising....sometimes I just dab some of that on my lips at night and it lasts until morning.

if you're cheap you could just put a little bit of vaseline on a toothbrush and gently rub it on your lips which will exfoliate them while softening them up!
if you want to try something else, i really like C.O. bigelow's soothing lip buffer gentle formula. it has 3.2% aloe extract and 8% cocoa butter in it. it's kind of like a sugary exfoliator with a nice minty scent to it and gives your lips a nice tingle when you use it. it isn't harsh on the lips at all and my lips are really smooth after using this. you can buy this @ bath & body works and i think i paid like $5-$7 for it.

I have used both the exfoliator from Tarte called Fixation and the one from C.O. Bigelow (Lip Buffer I think its called). They are both really good products and make lips super smooth. The Tarte buffer is easier to use as it's portable and contain the buffer and balm in one.
I also use My Favourite LipBalm from C.O. Bigelow at night time right after buffing. I put it in the fridge so it goes on somewhat firm and stays on the lips all night (esp useful during the summer when everything melts) and my lips come out super soft by the morning.

hmmm.. there must be something strange about my lips. vaseline just does not work for me. when i put vaseline on my lips, it makes them dry and oily (like adding oil to sand) instead i put a thick layer of good old lip smackers when i go to bed at night, then when you wipe it off the next morning, all the dead skin comes off without scrubbing

This works best for me too. I have found that a little bit of MAC Clear LipGlass afterwards keeps my lips extremely soft and smooth. Those oils like jojoba, vitamin E, and etc don't cut it.

Personally I think the best/most efficient lip exfoliator is also the cheapest one =)
Rub in a layer of vaseline on your lips, wait 10 minutes, then wet a toothbrush with warm water and gently rub the brush on your lips to remove dead skin cells and dry patches - dry lips and finish with another application of vaseline - your lips will be supple, soft, and pouty (since brushing lips with the toothbrush will increase circulation) - this method works like a charm and costs almost nothing!

i have very dry lips but i've found a routine that works for me... i apply carmex for bed then exfoliate with smashbox lip exfoliator in the morning... it leaves my lips nice and soft for my lip stick...
carmex is great, inexpensive and it actually works. i've tried many but this is the only thing that works for me.. although it does have a weird taste..

Sugar and coconut oil is good lip exfoliator it is natural and safe. I am using this lip exfoliator once a week to treat my dry and chapped lip and it works well on my lip. You can also use olive oil as a substitute for coconut oil.

I have never used lavender oil before in a lip scrub. I will be trying that gnus week for sure!
