Keep Your Lips Soft and Beautiful!
A smile is a beautiful thing. But when your lips are chapped or cracked, smiling can be uncomfortable.
Winter can be harsh on skin and especially on our lips.
Many products are available to help prevent dry and cracked lips and as well know, an ounce of prevention (once or twice a day) is worth a pound of cure (all day long).
Preventative measures can be as simple as:
- Applying a small coat of petroleum jelly or lip balm when using a dry lipstick.
- Using a bit of lip balm to moisturize as you sleep.
- Using a lip balm before going out into harsh weather, especially one with a good SPF factor to protect them from the sun’s rays.
- Drinking plenty of water to keep your lips hydrated and supple.
- Resisting the urge to lick your lips (saliva does not moisturize).
- Resisting the urge to nibble at your lips.
- Using a toothbrush with soft bristles to remove flaky skin from your lips.
Take care of your lips every day, and they'll take care of you, by providing a gorgeous, inviting smile!
