10 Best Lip Scrubs UK 2024 | UK Dermatologist Reviewed

Beating our other favourites to the top spot is Dr. Paw Paw's tropical scrub and balm duo – we do love getting our money's worth after all! What makes this product great is that it is suitable for men as well as women given its unisex container. Additionally, it is one of the only products to feature not only a bevvy of fruit extracts, plant oils and butters, but also the healing and soothing super-ingredient aloe vera. 

Whether you're in need of relief from dryness and discomfort, fancy pampering your lips to kissable perfection, or just want to hydrate with a tasty mango, orange, and coconut scent, there's something for everyone in this gorgeous, 100% natural and edible sugar scrub. You can even use it as a hand treatment! 

Potentially the brand who helped kick off the lip scrub trend, Lush's bubblegum version is, quite simply, totally addictive. It keeps things incredibly simple by using only organic jojoba oil and castor sugar, but it's also one of the most powerful scrubs out there and is nice and coarse.

As you'd expect, it's also completely vegan, all-natural and cruelty-free with ethically-sourced ingredients. As for removal, you can wipe it off, or like most superfans, lick it off for a candy-sweet treat that leaves behind a slight pink tint. Just try to save some of it for its original purpose! 

Another light-but-effective scrub in a stick form, this sweet cherry-flavoured delight scores top marks for combining convenience and hygiene with an intensely moisturising blend of shea butter, grape seed oil, jojoba and avocado. It's also highly rated for its suitability to sensitive skin. 

With plenty of other flavour options such as brown sugar, coconut, and mint, this entire range is one we'll be stocking up on for many winters to come! 

Honey and beeswax have long been touted for their exceptional healing properties, so it's no surprise we'd recommend this one for lips in need of some love, care, and repair. Using honey crystals instead of sugar for gentle exfoliation, it's just as sweetly-scented but even more moisturising, we'd say. 

Recommended as a home treatment, it's intended to be followed up with the brand's overnight intensive lip repair balm, both of which should recondition your pout back to health in no time. 

Reminiscent of a festive peppermint candy cane, this zingy scrub has the added appeal of a slight plumping effect, thanks to the stimulating properties of its mint essential oil. With a rather coarse texture to the sugar, it's definitely one for those wanting a good scrub, and can be used twice daily as needed. 

As with most of the legendary British brand's products, it's also a very affordable choice – especially as the ingredients are real and natural, and the entire range is cruelty-free. Plus, at this price, you can try out the mango flavour, too! 

This Nivea lip scrub is enriched with Aloe Vera and Vitamin E, two ingredients which work beautifully to leave lips feeling super soft. This exfoliating lip scrub gently buffs away dry skin, leaving them smooth and kiss-ready. 

Given that this scrub is incredibly moisturising, it is perfect for cold weather chapping. 

A twist-up lip scrub stick, full of apricot seed scrubbers to gently exfoliate and moisturise for silky, smooth, kissable lips. It is packed with hydrating ingredients such as coconut oil and beeswax. Swipe the stick back and forth over your lips then wipe off. You can use this as often as needed too! 

It's lightweight and non-greasy which makes it perfect for on the go and unlike some classic exfoliators, there is no mess! However, it is one of the higher price pointed lip scrubs in our ranking. 

The Dior Addict Lip Sugar Scrub allows you to exfoliate your lips conveniently on the go. Containing ultra-fine sugar granules that melt away, leaving you with incredibly silky smooth lips with a slight glossy pink tint. Which means there is no need to wipe it off! 

The Dior Sugar Scrub can be used as often as needed and gives the benefits of both a balm and a scrub. The beeswax and mango seed butter give hydration to the lips but a word of warning, if you're concerned about ingredients - this product does contain fragrance and BHT.

A convenient and hygienic stick for throwing into your bag or suitcase, this scrub from KIKO is one of our lighter options, both in fragrance and abrasiveness! It certainly still works well to buff away impurities and dead skin, though, and can be used several times a day instead of a lip balm. Just make sure to wipe off with a pad or tissue, as it's not safe to ingest. 

The exfoliating ingredient, described as "special crystals", is comprised of plastic-derived polyethylene, which is more gentle than most synthetic exfoliants, but could be a deal-breaker for ethical shoppers.  

If you are looking for a lip product which is both delicate and beautifully scented, look no further than this lip scrub from BY Terry. Infused with rose butter, rose hip oil and other oil extracts, this product will leave your lips looking smooth and refined. 

Although some have stated that it does not have much of a scrubbing effect, it is still enriched with micro-crystals and other exfoliating ingredients.
