English term or phrase: prepping your pucker
Don't worry about prepping your pucker; you're in for a lip-smacking sweet and zingy citrus blast. 讲的是一种维生素C营养剂如何好吃。不知道 prepping your pucker 什么意思？

Chinese translation:pucker 表达一种嘴部表情
Explanation:
比如吃酸的东西，如柠檬，时那种咋嘴的难受表情。吃过维生素C片的人都知道是酸的，象柠檬或青苹果。所以可以意译：
别担心，一点都不酸 （或一点都不难吃），你会觉得很甜，象柑橘似的。

撅嘴亲吻


Explanation:
lip－smacking原意就是吧唧嘴，表示特别好吃，香香嘴；prep your pucker的本意是准备撅嘴亲吻。嘴唇都已经吧唧香了，当然不担心亲吻的味道了。
具体怎么遣词呢？根据上下文的风格再斟酌吧。
