French Girl Organics - Organic/Vegan Rose Lip Polish (1 oz / 30 ml)

This is my first ever lip scrub. My lips are very sensitive and prone to cold sores if the skin is damaged, so I’ve always avoided abrasive lip treatments. Then I moved to the East Coast, and my lips dried out terribly. I needed something to keep from having the skin peel off. Insert the French Girl Rose Lip Polish. The polish’s tiny scrub beads are soft enough to help my dry skin and not wreak havoc on my lips. I gently rub a tiny amount (we’re talking tiny because a little goes a long way) on my lips and then use a cotton round with a bit of DHC deep cleansing oil to remove the scrub, then lightly wash with warm water. I follow the treatment with the Julep 24/7 Lip Treatment and Hydrating Gloss. I have non-dry, non-flaky, hydrated lips by morning. The lip polish has truly made a difference for the health of my lips. Definitely recommend 10/10. Oh! As a general rule, I don’t like rose scented anything - it’s always overpowering in whatever product I’m using. I can confirm that this has a light rose scent (I mean it’s in the name), but it dissipates quickly and for me is largely unnoticeable.

Very drying. Will not be using again.

I use this year round but especially in the winter months when my lips are drier from the indoor heat. Great at removing dry skin and I love the minty scent!

This product smells very good (big fan of rose!) And tastes super yummy, and leaves my lips soft after the use. Cons are that this product seems almost too "dry" when I initially try to scoop it out of the jar. I read some review saying there weren't enough sugar grains... mine is total opposite. So the scrub didn't go on my lips smoothly and good chunk of the product fell off! LoL! After some trial and error, I figured out a way that works for me; I take a little on the tip of my ring finger and rub it ever so slightly with the tip of the other ring finger to warm up the oil. When it melts a bit, then I apply it to my lips. A little goes a long way. Still a bit messy but I stopped dropping it and wasting it. Overall I like it.

This scrub has a nice feel - not too dry where it would be hard to scrub on and cause abrasions and not too liquidy where it will just run off your lips and not scrub. It has been freezing, dry, and windy in the Northeast - the kind of weather that flares up my eczema and dries out my skin. I followed the directions and wet my lips with warm water first, took a small amount of product and warmed it between my fingertips before I scrubbed my lips, and wiped my lips off with a warm wet washcloth. Afterward, I used a lip balm by Marin that is designed for eczema - I noticed that using the lip balm after the scrub made my lip balm feel less like a thick, sticky film that just sat on my lips and more hydrating and penetrating. I did this as a type of lip mask before bed. My lips felt great after using it and I could still feel where my lips still felt hydrated and soft the next morning. I think the scrub helped the lip balm penetrate the skin on my lips so they could receive the hydration they desperately needed. There is one thing I would like to mention, however. When I first received my order, I opened the box that the scrub came in and the lid of the container was dusty. I was confused and wondered if I received a return. When I opened the scrub nothing seemed amiss and didn't look used; so, maybe it was dust from the storeroom? At any rate, I love this product and will be buying more when I run out in the future.
