Exfoliating your lips will remove the dead layers of the skin and regenerate cells. During the winter season, exfoliate your lips once a week and regular exfoliation is not needed. 

• To exfoliate your lips, make your lip scrubs with sugar and olive oil or use a store-bought scrub.
• Massage your lips with petroleum jelly on a cotton ball. Later remove the dead cells using a soft cloth.
