Kissable Lips: The endless months of winter are almost finally behind us! Colder weather can take a toll on our skin and well-being, so now that warmer weather is on the way it’s time to give our bodies some love so that we’re ready for spring and summer. One area to give some TLC to is our lips; the harshness of winter weather can leave them feeling dry, flaky and cracked, which is not good news for you or your partner! So here are 4 quick tips on how to revitalise your lips and get them kissably soft in no time.
Scrub away flaky skin
Step one to shaking off the throes of winter is to use a lip scrub in order to buff away dead skin cells. This is a quick and easy way of getting rid of flaky skin without causing irritation, tugging or ripping at your lips. As an added bonus, lip scrubs often come in a variety of delicious flavours and scents so they’re a tasty way of achieving the perfect pout that you want! Simply use the scrub in circular motions for softer, more supple lips in a jiffy.
Balm is your best friend
A tried and tested method of making your lips irresistible is using a lip balm whenever your lips start to feel dry or tight, in order to prevent further discomfort. Balms work by sealing in moisture and protecting your lips from potential irritators like cold weather and wind by preventing these in the first place due to its thick, occlusive layer. Be careful not to rely on them too much however – if you use lip balm constantly, this can have the reverse effect of making your lips drier as they will come to depend on the balm to provide hydration in the first place.
You’ll be ready to kiss goodbye to winter after using these tips!
Slick on some kissable lip oil
A popular and trendy way to give your pout some hefty hydration, lip oil is an effective and deeply nourishing way of kicking your skincare routine into high gear. Lip oils work by repairing and moisturising your lips in a way that they can’t do themselves, as lips do not have oil glands and so need a helping hand in this area. So by using lip oil, you are giving your lips a burst of hydration in a way they’ve never experienced before! They’re used in the same way as a lip balm, so a simple swipe of product will have your lips heavenly soft and tasting deliciously sweet.
Wake up with the perfect pout
An extra step you can take in your beauty routine is to use a lip sleeping mask, so that you wake up with lips drenched in moisture. This is often a thicker, creamier version of a lip balm and helps intensely hydrate your lips as you sleep, so that the hard work of looking after your lips is maintained with minimal effort. Use after a lip scrub for a full-on moisturising experience that even the wildest of winters can’t stand a chance against.
