Most women would love to have sexy, pouty lips that glow. In order to achieve this glow, you need to properly take care of your lips. Even if you apply cosmetics to make those lips more kissable, it is always necessary to keep your lips looking healthy.
Lips are easily affected with sudden climate change, especially dryness; hence it is important to keep them moisturized. They do not have oil glands to moisturize them, so the first step in lip care is to keep them moistened, otherwise they will become chapped and cracked.
How to Exfoliate
In the morning, exfoliate your lips. You may be wondering why. Exfoliation removes dead skin cells, stimulating the growth of more vibrant cells. It does not only work for the face and the body, but has lasting effects on your lips as well. You can do this by getting a soft bristled brush - a baby toothbrush is perfect - and gently brush your lips. Then add a lip balm to lock in the moisture. You can also opt for a more natural and sweet tasting approach by using a few drops of honey and sugar on the brush.
Quick Tip: Make sure to carefully read the ingredients of your lip balm and stay away from potential irritants. It is best to go for the natural ingredients such as aloe vera, beeswax, jojoba and shea butter.
Overexposure to sun
For everyday care of your lips, avoid overexposure to the sun. If you can find a lip balm with a sunscreen, it's a plus factor. Before applying your daily lipstick, dab a small amount of lip balm for the maximum moisture protection of your lips.
Hydration
Hydration is another key. Drink more than the recommended 8 glasses of water a day to keep your whole body well hydrated. Ensure that your supplements have vitamin B complex and Vitamin E for that healthier glow.
At night, apply moisturizing creams or natural moisturizers such as extra virgin olive oil and castor oil and you will wake up with softer lips.
Lip Liner
Now for those extra luscious looking lips, a simple makeup technique should do the trick. With a lip liner, outline the outer edge of your lips, starting from the center outwards. Before filling in with your lipstick, place a dab of loose powder on your lips. Then you can start filling in with your lipstick. The key here is to choose a lip liner that is a shade darker than your lipstick. For the final and most important step, apply lip gloss. The lip gloss will make those lips glow with a natural sheen.
Only soft and healthy lips can give you that natural glow. Pucker up and keep those lips healthy and sexy!
