Lip Care: Show some TLC to your Lips

We always take care of our skin and body as a whole. Sometimes we tend to forget trivial things like this body part, our lips. Oftentimes, there are tons of skincare products that we are so excited to try and test but not so many people choose something for the lips. Why? I have no idea but one thing's for sure. It's high time we show some tender loving care to our lips.  Let me count the ways.

LIP CARE TIPS

# 1 Drink as much water as possible.

 You can also bring a water bottle with you anywhere you go. This is to hydrate your skin and lips as well. Hydration is the key my friends.

# 2 Apply lip balm everyday  especially when you feel like it is needed. 

It avoids the appearance of chapped / cracked lips but also it provides an added protective layer on the surface of your lips to maintain a certain kind of dampness.

# 3 Exfoliate if necessary.

This is really important. Not only exfoliation will get rid of the old skin cells on the lips but also it will make our lips softer and smoother.

# 4 Avoid biting or licking.

These 2 actions are absolutely bad habits. Biting our lips cause the lips to appear darker over time. Also, licking the lips with saliva many times will make them drier instead.

# 5 Don't use cheap and fake cosmetics.

Cheap lipsticks will make your lips look dull and darker gradually. Plus, the harmful ingredients in that lip product also endanger your health as well. 

# 6 Make it a point to apply lip balm first before putting on a lipstick.

This makes sure that our lips are fully prepared and moisturized before applying the actual lipstick. Plus, having a lip balm first makes any matte lipstick looking smooth and pretty.

#7 Check your SPF

Our lips also get burned and get sensitive at times. Having a lip balm with a good SPF is the key. That's what you call double protection all in one product.

#8 Don't wear matte lipstick everyday.
Yes, you can always alternate your matte lipstick and moisturizing /glossy finish every other day. Matte lipstick truly makes our lips drier even more especially if you're inside a workplace that is air-conditioned. 

I guess that's it for now. Hope you learn something from this. Don't forget to show some special attention to your lips and take care of them as well.
Take care my friends and always be happy.
