While marketing gimmicks continue to fool gullible beauty consumers, we decided to take matters into our own hands to save a couple of highly misunderstood gems that got sucked into this pool of injustice. Lip masks and scrubs. We spent the past month doing our homework to achieve soft, healthy lips. Our benchmark? Hailey Bieber (what, have you seen her lips?). But hold on. Before you snicker at our touchstone, please allow us to flaunt all the groundwork we put into this carefully designed list.

Post all the digging, we’re pretty convinced that exfoliating and masking your pout is your one-way ticket to elegant, pillowy lips. It’s possible. Thus, without further ado we’ve listed six solid lip masks and scrubs to lean on mid-commute, between deadlines or even if it’s just on a blah rainy day. These bi-weekly formulas promise to reveal perfectly primed lips.
