Long-wearing, smudge-proof, waterproof lipsticks that stay on our lips for hours at a time can be a nightmare to remove at the end of the day. These lipsticks have a tendency to stain our lips even after we’ve scrubbed them.
Here are a few great ways to remove your stubborn lipstick. These hacks will help you get rid of any ultra-pigmented lip color without spending hours scrubbing your lips.
Vaseline
Vaseline has been used to hydrate dry lips for decades. This multi-purpose product not only adds moisture to your lips — it’s also great for lipstick removal. Simply take a pea-sized amount and apply it on top of your lips, let it sit for about 5 minutes and then take a damp cotton pad and wipe it away in one sweep. Repeat the steps to get rid of all traces for a soft and fresh pout.
Lip Balm
If you’re on the go and want to change out your lip color, your lip balm can double as a lipstick remover. The lip balm can dilute your lipstick and lift away any staining. Similar to using Vaseline, swipe it on top of your lips and allow it to lift the lip color. Instead of using a cotton pad, grab a tissue and rub it across your lips, making sure you don’t wipe the product outside of your lip line.

Organic Oil
Extra virgin olive oil and coconut oil have been used to remove face makeup for decades; if used correctly these oils can easily remove lipstick in a snap. Simply dab a dime-sized amount on a cotton pad and blot it on top of your lips. A cotton pad is critical in the removing process since oil tends to smear all over the lips.
Micellar Cleansing Water
If you’re concerned about using oil on your face, a micellar cleansing water will get rid of stubborn makeup. The distilled oil is light enough to get the job done without clogging pores or leaving a residue. It’s ideal for sensitive skin and will not be harsh on your lips.
Lip Scrub
Make your own lip scrub at home by mixing organic brown sugar and honey into a jar. It will slough off any dead, discolored skin on your lips AND it’s good enough to eat! Just smooth the mix onto your lips and rub gently for a few seconds. Use a washcloth to wipe away the remaining product.
