Tip Tips To Keep Your Lips Beautiful And Healthy

Hi everyone,

We will all probably be able to admit that through 2020 we have probably paid less attention to self-care, especially towards the end during winter. Despite moisturising, you will have probably found that your skin and lips have been far more irritated than normal, one of the biggest reasons why will be because we need to wear face masks to protect ourselves and others while out. Some of us even need to wear them throughout the day to complete our work, so, it’s not really a surprise that now we are in 2021, our lips are overdue a little bit of care. 

When it comes to the care of your lips, you shouldn’t really be slacking off. Dry, cracked lips can be irritating, painful, and annoying to say the least. They deserve to be looked after. So, let’s have a look at some of the top tips for getting healthy and beautiful lips, just in time for Valentine’s day: 

Exfoliating

You need to make you are removing any dry, dead skin from your lips by gently brushing your lips with a soft toothbrush or washcloth (a little damp). Once a week should help you to maintain this, it’s also best to do it when you know you aren’t going straight out as your lips may be a little sensitive afterwards. There are also some exfoliating scrubs that you can find online, they are designed to work for your lips. 

Keep Hydrated 

You should make sure you are properly hydrated. Your lips can easily become dry and chapped, this is because they don’t have oil glands like the rest of your skin. Drinking plenty of water can help with this. If you can, avoid licking your lips, it saps out the moisture from them and can lead to them being extremely sore. 

Treat Them 

Your lips are one of your key features when it comes to doing your makeup or your self-care. Whether you grab yourself some more lip liners at DoseofColors.com or purchase a luxury lip balm, treating your lips to something nice can go a long way to taking care of them as well as making you feel confident. If you are unsure of the right way to treat your lips following the tips in this post should get you off to a great start. 

Moisturise And Protect 

Your lips have to contend with a lot of sun exposure, especially your bottom lip. This makes them a hot spot for skin cancers. This means it is ultra important for you to use a daytime lip product that also includes an SPF of 15 or more. You should also think about moisturising your lips on nighttime after a hard day out and about. Don’t forget to re-apply sun protection through the day if you are in the sun, it should be done after eating and drinking and at least every two hours. A great way to ensure you always have protection for your lips is to have a few handy and easy to grab moisturising lip balms. Have in your make bag, your car, your handbag, and even your draw or locker at work. 

Use The Right Products For You

Every person is different, which is why it can be difficult to know you are looking after your lips in the right way. It is important for you to ensure you are using the right products. When it comes to using lip balm it’s a good idea to look for the Skin Cancer Foundation’s Seal of Recommendation. It’s only given to products that are sun-protective and meet the high standards of their Photobiology Committee. Having this seal of approval will reassure you, that you have chosen a good way to protect your lips from the elements.
