June 13, 2009
Lips are one of the most sensuous parts of the body that is exposed the most to pollution, dryness, and irritation. Hence, care should be taken to keep your lips soft and supple.
This is what makes them look attractive and appealing to onlookers. In this article, we talk about a few ways in which you can ensure that your lips are healthy and beautiful at all times of the day.
Pump up the moisture
The first step in lip care is to ensure that your lips are kept moist always. Use a good lip balm that can help retain the moisture for a long period during the day.
Always carry the lip balm in your purse or handbag. Let it be your constant companion. Keep reapplying it when you feel your lips are drying up. Most of people moisten their lips only during the day.
They miss out on taking care of it during the night. This should be avoided. You should keep your lips moist even during the night, which is when they are most exposed to losing moisture.
Use a good lip moisturizer to help lock the moisture into your lips when you go to sleep.
You can also prepare your own lip moisturizer at home. Take two tablespoons each of coconut oil and almond oil. Apply this mixture on your lips and softly massage into your lips.
This will help in proper circulation of blood to the lips as well. Be sure to massage your lips softly. Do not rub them hard. This will only cause more harm than good. Once you have finished massaging the mixture on your lips, let it stand for about 10 minutes and then wipe it off gently. This will help keep your lips moist, soft, and looking good.
Yes, you read it right! Just like how you brush your teeth, you can brush your lips as well to eliminate the flaky skin. For this, you will need a brush with soft bristles; you can use a baby brush.
You exfoliate your face using a face wash; similarly, you can exfoliate your lips by brushing it softly with Vaseline. Take a little Vaseline on the brush and apply it on your lips.
Let is stand for about 2-3 minutes. Then, gently brush your lips to remove the dead skin. You can also use any good professional lip scrub available online instead of the petroleum Vaseline gel.
Once you have finished brushing, you need to gently wipe away the gel. Now apply a good lip moisturizer and you are ready to flaunt your sexy, appealing, and luscious lips!!
