"There's nothing worse than applying lipstick on rough lips, and as someone with perpetually dry lips, this is a constant struggle for me. That's why before applying any lip product in my makeup routine, I always do a quick scrub. While most formulas can be a little messy, the Beauty by POPSUGAR Be Smooth Sugar Lip Scrub ($22) comes in a twist-up applicator that makes the process so much easier. Because hands aren't involved, I can do it at my desk, in the back of a car, you name it, and simply wipe away the excess with a tissue." — JH
