Too busy taking care of your skin or your hair? Don’t forget the lips, which are more sensitive, need more care, especially in the cold months. Stop hiding behind a lipstick and offer them the proper care they deserve!
To stay smooth and silky, the lips need exfoliation, just like the skin does, at least once a week. For this, use a toothbrush and massage the lips with circular moves. This way, you remove the dry skin and prepare the surface for nourishing treatments, which will give back the lips the velvet.
If the lips are dry or damaged (cracked), like it happens in the winter, the surface must be first repaired, and then protected. In many cases, the lip balm is not enough, and you need to use natural, strongly nourishing ingredients: honey, butter (as fat as possible), olive oil or almond oil. Also, include in your alimentation many fruit and drink much water, since dry lips are a sign of dehydration.
After you use the natural repairing treatments, you need to moisturize the lips, with moisturizing balms, which need applying many times throughout the day. The evenings you must wipe the lips with a cucumber or lemon slice, and then apply a night formula product.
Because the lipsticks don’t contain moisturizing ingredients, they need to be avoided in the cold season. You can use creamy, vitamin rich lipsticks, but only after you use a protecting balm first. Use a special brush to apply the lipstick, and start from the center. Always respect the lips contour and pay attention to the mouth corners.
If your lips are thin, you should use only light colored lipstick. The dark hues only thin even more the lips. Cover the lipstick with a clear lip gloss, only in the center of the lips. Also, there are available volume lip glosses, with ingredients specially designed to increase the lips visually.
If your lips are not symmetrical, chose pink or nude nuances of lipstick, and avoid the contour crayons.
For thick lips, you need natural colors and glosses, which will reduce visually their volume. For effect, you can use colors by taking into consideration your eyes color.
Byte a paper napkin, to remove the excessive lipstick and to avoid the teeth from coloring. Over the day, you may use a clear or pale pink lip gloss for the center part of the lips.
