Sometimes it feels like you can’t just win it with lips! The cold wind dries them up and hot sunny weather can play havoc with your lips too. Whatever the weather has in store for your lips, there are ways that you can protect them and make sure they stay smooth and lush. Here are ten great tips on how to keep your lips looking attractive and kissable.
1. Keep your lips clean
Your lips are exposed to the dust and dirt that is in the air, not to mention the food and drink that passes by your lips. It’s important to keep your lips clean, so remember to give them a wash during the day. Rubbing honey on them is a good way to gently cleanse them and keep them looking fresh.
2. Use extra virgin olive oil or other nourishing oils
Your lips are very soft and sensitive, so that makes olive oil the ideal product to use on dry chapped lips. Olive oil will help soften your lips, it will be absorbed quickly and it won’t irritate the skin at all. You can also use other nourishing oils to hydrate your lips, for example, sweet almond oil, avocado oil, rosehip oil, linen seed oil, grape seed oil, coconut oil, rice bran oil, and shea butter.
3. If your lips are dry, apply lip balm before lipstick
When your lips do get dry, remember to apply a lip balm before you apply any lipstick. This will not only help re-hydrate your lips, but it will also make the lipstick look better and stay in place for longer too.
4. Try an almond paste
Another great tip on how to take care of your lips is to try an almond paste. Almonds are rich in vitamins that will help keep your lips beautiful and kissable. Massage some almond paste into your lips and it will bring a healthy glow to your lips and help keep them soft and kissable.
5. Aloe vera gel
Aloes vera gel is another great product to use on your lips. Massage some into your lips and leave it on for fifteen minutes before you go to bed, and you will wake up with beautifully soft and hydrated lips.
