Tips for lip care

We pay a lot of attention to our facial skin, our nails, and our toes but what must not go uncared for are the lips. If we don't keep our skin hydrated enough during summers, it often results in chapped lips. We may tend to think that chapped lips can be hidden using a bold lipstick but this just is not the case. Won't you notice if somebody had chapped underneath their pretty lipstick? Think about it!

Here are a few lip care tips.

Scrub!

It is important to scrub your lips before you go to bed to get rid of dead skin. Instead of investing in expensive cosmetics, all you must do is scrub your lips for two minutes with a soft tooth brush before you hit the bed.

Massage!

Once you are done with scrubbing, you can just massage your lips with almond oil for a few minutes. This goes a long way in preventing discolouration, darkening, and roughness.

Moisturize!

It is very important to keep your lips hydrated and moisturized at all times. Dry and chapped lips look shabby and unkempt. When you are going out during the day, it is essential to apply some cocoa butter or moisturizer.

Protect it from sun!

If it’s summer then don’t forget to apply sunscreen on your lips as you apply dollops of it on the rest of your face and neck.

Use pomegranate!

Crush the seeds of pomegranates and apply it on your lips. This is one of the best homemade remedies for lightening dark lips. You will soon see a slow improvement in the way your lips lighten.

Say ‘No’ to smoking

Smoking is one of the major reasons why your lips become dark and dull. Naturally, one of the homemade remedies for lightening dark lips also includes finding a motivation for quitting smoking. Besides, if you quit smoking, you will also be enjoying in terms of other health benefits as well, such as a longer life and healthy lungs.
