Lip Care 101: FOR supple, kissable lips!
Our lips are so delicate and don’t have oil glands like the rest of our face. This makes them especially prone to dehydration and chapping. During the colder months, your lips (along with the rest of your skin) lose moisture to the surrounding air more quickly than your body can replenish it.
Care for your lips and prevent chapped lips with these expert tips:
Anytime your lips feel dry is an appropriate time to use lip balm. Choose a lip balm containing beeswax, cocoa butter or shea butter. Apply a thick lip balm before applying your lip treatment, lip gloss or lipstick.
If your lip moisturizer doesn’t contain sunscreen, protect your lips with lip products containing SPF when you’re spending time outside.
Exfoliate your lips 1-2 times per week at night to restore softness and eliminate dry, flaking skin that builds up. DIY Lip Scrub: Combine 2 teaspoons of brown sugar, one teaspoon honey (optional) and one tablespoon of an oil such as coconut, jojoba, sweet almond or shea butter. How To Exfoliate Lips: Apply a small amount of exfoliating scrub to your fingertips. Gently rub over your lips in small circular motions for up to 30 seconds. Leave on lips for 10 minutes, rinse with warm water and pat dry with a tissue. Apply lip balm and/or lip treatment to seal in moisture.
Boost your lip health by staying hydrated and avoid picking, licking or biting your lips.
Get a HUMIDIFIER! Using a humidifier in your home will minimize moisture evaporation from lips. Keeping a humidifier in your bedroom can help address one of the root causes of chapped lips in winter—dry air. This tip is especially helpful if you sleep in a house with central heating since this really zaps moisture from the air.
