5 Quick Tips For A Smooth Winter Pout

According to '90s trio TLC, the general rule of thumb on scrubs is that we don't want none. That is, until we're talking about beauty products which remove dead, flaky skin from our midst.

We turned to Sandra Lemmerman, assistant vice president of global brand innovation for Bliss, for help.
