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 mouths too. Whatever the weather has in store for your mouths, 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 mouths. 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 lip balm
Your lips can easily dry out in the wind, so use lip balm on them regularly to keep them hydrated. Carry lip balm with you all the time and top up the moisture, whenever you feel you need to.
3. Keep your body hydrated too
If your body gets dehydrated, then one of the first places it will show is on your lips. Drink plenty of water during the day and don’t drink too much alcohol, that way, you will keep it hydrated, from the inside out.
4. 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 mouths, 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.
5. Exfoliate your lips weekly
Another tip on how to take care of your lips is to exfoliate weekly. Exfoliating your mouths will remove the dead skin cells and expose the soft and kissable skin underneath. Sprinkle some sugar on a piece of fruit, such as banana, mango, strawberry, or any other fruit you like, and then rub your lip gently with it. This is the best and tastiest way there is to exfoliate your mouths.
6. 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 mouths, but it will also make the lipstick look better and stay in place for longer too.
7. Massage your lips
Next beauty tip on how to take care of your mouths is to give your mouths a daily massage and that will help keep them in good health too. Rub your fingertip, in a circular motion, over your lip and it will help increase the blood supply to your mouth.
8. Try an almond paste
Another great tip on how to take care of your mouths 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 lip and it will bring a healthy glow to your mouths and help keep them soft and kissable.
9. Aloe vera gel
Aloes vera gel is another great product to use. 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 lip.
10. Look for Vitamin E lipstick
Because your lips are so sensitive, it is best not to use the cheapest lipstick that you can find or it will dry out your mouths. Go for the more expensive brands instead, and look for those that contain Vitamin E. That way your lips will look great and you’ll be helping keep them soft and kissable, all at the same time.
