Most people forget that it is very important to follow a lip care routine during the summer season since our lips cannot produce natural oils the way our skin can.
Lip Care Tips
One simple lip care tip to keep your lips soft in summer is to drink water. As the summer sun gets hotter, your lips need extra water. Wetting or licking your lips too often can create irritation. Chapped lips result in dry, flaky skin – not great for long-lasting lipstick.
Exfoliate: Exfoliating will even out any imperfections on your lips, like uneven tone, dry skin, and fine lines.
Natural exfoliating scrub-
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
Just mix both the ingredients well and then simply apply them to your lips and massage for at least 5 minutes to get luscious smooth lips.
Protect and moisturize. Lips receive a lot of sun exposure – particularly the bottom lip. That means they are a common spot for skin cancers. So it’s SUPER IMPORTANT that your daytime lip product includes an SPF 15 or higher sunscreen. And yes, you still need to protect your lips, and the rest of your skin, even if you are wearing a mask!
Reapply Sun-protection. Remember to reapply sun-protective lip product every two hours, especially after eating or drinking.
Following these tips, you’ll have a perfectly prepped pucker, ready to seize the day.
