Dry lips and peeling: what should be lip care in winter
Well, as soon as the breeze blows, the lips begin to dry and crack. We need emergency methods here, write it down.
Everyone knows how to care for the skin in winter, but not everyone knows that the skin of the lips, just like the skin around the eyes, is very thin and sensitive. To make your lips always look seductive and beautiful, follow these rules.
Nutrition
Make it a rule to never leave the house without lip balm. It’s better to have several of them. One in a purse and the other on a desk, for example. And most importantly: apply balm every time you are going to go outside. Cold weather, wind, the habit of licking your lips, all this will make your lips dry and ugly.
It is important that the hygienic or lip balm contains oils and vitamin E. These components nourish the skin of the lips very well.
Exfoliation
If you still became the owner of dry lips, then you cant do without a scrub. In order for the nutrients to penetrate the skin, you first need to remove all peeling. You can make your own scrub or buy one already made. Just mix some sugar and vegetable oil. Apply the sweet paste on your lips and massage well. Such a scrub will not only remove the stratum corneum, but also nourish the skin.
After the scrub, you can rub your lips with a damp terry towel (only without fanaticism). This procedure will also help get rid of dry crusts.
Lips like velvet
For gentle kisses: how to properly care for the skin of the lips
An important point: if your lips have wounds or cracks, then the scrub must be discarded, otherwise you risk even more damage to your lips.
Protection
It is best to choose products with a dense oily texture. They will create a layer that will help protect the sponges from the weather. If you are an eco-fairy and want everything to be as natural as possible, you can use oils. For example, shea butter or jojoba. They coolly soften the lips and create the necessary barrier.
For those who are really bad, there is also a way out. Special ointments, creams and even lip patches. If you have a date coming up and your lips look like a thorny fence, then patches are your salvation. But first you need to apply a mega-nourishing balm or cream on the lips (thick layer) and wait 10-15 minutes. Then wipe off the remnants, make a scrub and only then apply a patch. After all the manipulations, apply lip balm and go kissing soon.
Crib
We strongly recommend that you throw all matte lipsticks away (at least until spring). They already dry lips wildly, add to this terrible weather conditions, ignoring care … Such a story is definitely not about beautiful lips.
