Hello Fellas! In this time, I would like to examine my daily lip care. In support as student’s life, these products are still affordable for us. These lips care steps are simple, it only three steps. There are, lip scrub, lip serum, and last lip balm. Because lip serum product’s claimed as lip sleeping mask, thus, I will introduce the product as lip mask too.
There are several reasons I started to do lip care as my daily skincare. For the first time, I really unaware for my lips because I did not have any problem with that. On other hand, I felt insecure because my lips are chapped. Furthermore, there are several reasons why I begin to take care my lips:
- My lips are chapped. I’m always drinking mineral water but it does not impact to myself and it moisturizes my lips yet when my lips are chapped. It really sore when I’m peeling the dead skin cells.
- My lips are dark. I realized that when I used lipstick, the result it was not good. How do you know about that? When I used the lipstick my upper lip it’s not good enough for the result.
In view of the fact that, I start to do my lip care. Certainly, the products are affordable. Here we go:
- Lip Scrub
For lip scrub I use this product.
Surely, the product used to scrub the lips.
The ingredients:

(Hydra Sugar Lip Scrub — Mineral Botanica)
They claimed if the product made your lips moisturized which contained with Vitamin-E, avocado oil, and Squalane. Also, the claim from this product can lift up your dead skin cells.
What the product that claimed is true? Definitely true! But the product have a weakness. The weakness is the product is hard to push. When I pushed the tube that the product pull out is the oil not the scrub. Thus, we need more effort to pull out the product.
How about the texture? The texture of lip scrub are sheer and it is not really harsh for sensitive skin yet it can lift up your dead skin cells. The aroma from this lip scrub is vanilla which is suitable for relaxing ourselves.
Price: IDR 30.000- IDR 40.000 (8g)
Is it worth to buy? Definitely! Because I categorize this product as an affordable and it can used to four until six months. Besides, when I scrubbed use this product, it did not make the sore. It is suitable for sensitive skin.
2. Lip Serum
Next, I used lip serum. The product that I use is Hanasui Lip Sleeping Serum. For me, this product have a function as lip serum and sleeping mask.

They claimed the product as a lip serum. For me, it can be functioned as lip serum also sleeping mask. For texture, the texture is light. It only used one drop and it will be moisturized your lips. Furthermore, this lip serum help to reduce the pain when we remove our dead skin cells. Sometimes, I feel the pain when I lift up my dead skin cells and it made a sore for my lips. This lip serum made my lips are moisturized and healthy. Next, the product claimed if this lip serum can reduce the darker in lips but for myself it is not lighten my dark lips. Last, this product claimed smoothen the lips and I recognize that. This product made my lips are smoother than before.
Price: IDR 20.000–25.000 (12g)
3. Lip Balm
Honestly, I divided lip balm into two categorize for morning used and for night used. For morning skincare I used NIVEA SPF 15 yet I don’t like the lip balm, so, I don’t use this product again. For night skincare I use Himalaya Lip Balm. I love the smell from this lip balm, relaxing but I cannot describe about the aroma. How about the effect? The effect is good enough for moisturizing my lips and when I use this product my lips rarely chapped.
Price: IDR 16.000–26.000 (10g)
In conclusion, if I used these products will make my lips lighten? Definitely not because it takes several times yet I use these products my lips rarely chapped and my lips more moisturized rather than before.
