Summer sun-kissed lips will be turning to fall wind and winter chapped ones soon! Get ready and grab some great tips to take care of them.
We just have to love our lips - we know when they are dry and cracked, and we know when they are happy and healthy.
The skin on our lips is super sensitive, and it needs special care like no other skin on our bodies.
TIPS FOR HEALTHY HAPPY LIPS
DO NOT USE STRAWS!
When you use a straw, your lips stay puckered much longer than you want. You are actually drawing the skin in around your mouth each time you take a sip from a straw. Occasional use is ok - but daily use will just add wear and tear to your lips. Avoid the pucker look with a glass or water bottle that flows without the straw.
DRINK WATER!
Water makes your skin pretty - hydration does the job to perfection for you. Grab 20 oz. or more of water and drink up!
USE NON-TOXIC INGREDIENTS
Did you know you eat what you put on your lips?
Products that are applied to your skin are quickly absorbed into your bloodstream. When we talk about out lips, these products tend to get consumed as we lick our lips or talk. Unfortunately, many commercial products that you purchase for your lips can contain petroleum-based ingredients such as mineral oil that is not only drying but toxic to the skin. Avoid mineral oil (petroleum-based product), parabens, lead and other synthetic oils. Read your labels and look for plant based ingredients.
BEST CHOICES FOR LIP CARE
Ingredients like natural beeswax, shea butter, jojoba oil and vitamin E are great healthy lip choices. These don't just sit on top of your lips, they actually penetrate deep into the skin to moisture at a cellular level. Your lips feel great even after the product has worn off.
START WITH A SUGAR AND JOJOBA LIP EXFOLIANT
Sometimes we need a little extra help removing dead skin cells, toxins, and pollutants that get into the pores of the skin. Exfoliate gently, leaving your lips smooth and kissably soft.
MOISTURE YOUR LIPS LIKE YOUR OTHER SKIN SURFACES
Shea butter is the perfect choice to add as a moisturizing base before lip care morning and night.
Apply a Multi-Peptide Firming Serum or Anti Aging Eye Gel around your lips after exfoliating and before applying lip color for fine line and wrinkles...
