Lips are one of the most attractive features of any face, but they can also be the most tricky to manage. So, whether you’re at home or an event or party, you’ll always want to keep your lips in perfect condition. Here are seven tips to get you started.
1. Stay Hydrated
The first tip is the easiest one: stay hydrated. Drinking ample amounts of water every day can provide numerous benefits for your lips and generally a good idea to do regardless. If you don’t hydrate enough, this can result in your lips drying up faster. Sure, this can be remedied with various lip products but they won’t solve the root of the problem. By staying hydrated, you’ll do yourself a favor and keep your lips naturally hydrated while also being healthier in general.
2. Stay Away from Smoking
Smoking is known to be harmful to the lungs but did you know that it can also affect your lips too? Smoking and other vices that involve toxins can ruin the color and texture of your skin. So, even if you’re in your 20s, your lips may end up looking old and wrinkled. These characteristics are very difficult to reverse unless you also quit smoking.
3. Vitamin E Helps
Vitamin E is known to help promote blood circulation, and it so happens that lips also have plenty of blood vessels. By boosting your Vitamin E levels, you can achieve potentially softer lips thanks to the generation of additional cells in the area.
4. Use Lip Balm
Many girls use lip balm, but it’s also useful for everyone, too. Before you go to bed, apply some lip balm on your lips. When you wake up, get rid of any excess or dead skin that may be present. Doing this on a regular basis will keep all the healthy skin on your lips nourished while getting rid of all the unwanted dead skin.
5. Use Aloe Vera
Aloe vera gel is popular in beauty products such as shampoo, but it can also help with your lips. Applying it directly onto your lips can help moisturize and enrich which can lead to overall healthier-looking lips.
6. Keep them Away from the Sun
The sun can damage your skin including the skin found on your lips. Prolonged exposure to the sun can cause damage, so you should stay out of direct contact with the sun if possible. If you must go out, use lip balms with SPF to keep them protected from the sun’s harmful rays.
7. Get Rid of Lip Makeup before Bed
Sleeping with makeup on feels terrible and it’s bad for your skin and lips as well. Even if you’re tired after a long day at work or from a party, simply washing your face or any lip products (such as lipstick, lip plumper, or even lip gloss) can help immensely. It minimizes the potential damage that makeup can do when it stays on your lips for too long.
