With temperatures outside well into the minuses, there is one thing that I just can’t avoid – chapped lips.

It seems my pout can sense the cold, and as soon as the cold air hits my lips dry up and start to crack. I feel I am constantly applying lip balm and chapstick, and heaven forbid if I leave it at home.

But the genius people at Lush have offered me a fabulous solution.

Their lip scrubs are like sugar in a pot. All made with natural ingredients of course, all it takes is a little scrub rubbed into your lips and voila – a smooth, chap-free smile ready for kissing.

And what’s more, they come in three delicious flavours: mint julips, a mix of chocolate and peppermint, bubblegum, exactly what it says on the tin, and sweet lips, creamy milk chocolate.

My personal favourite is the mint julips. I actually cannot stop smelling it. And it tastes as good as it smells, so the only danger is it may not be around for long! But with two other flavours to try, why would you want it to be?

So get scrubbing and prep your pucker for truly kissable lips this Valentines Day.
