How to take care of your lips: 5 care secrets

0

The skin of the lips needs proper care. If you still do not have any cosmetic products for this, we advise you to correct this situation.

More moisture

You will be surprised, but the skin of the lips needs more moisture than the skin of the face. The whole point is that it is more sensitive, and due to the absence of sebaceous and sweat glands, proper moisturizing is not possible. As a result, the lips peel and crack. And with constant use of lipsticks and glosses, the situation will only get worse. Therefore, it is important to use moisturizing in lip care.

For these purposes, you will need moisturizing and nourishing lip balms. The first should be used before applying various decorative products, the second – after removing makeup. Your balms should contain petroleum jelly, beeswax, panthenol, hyaluronic acid, shea butter, jojoba, macadamia, tocopherol and ceramides. These are the most effective components in terms of moisturizing.

Protection against ultraviolet radiation

The skin of the face and the skin of the lips need protection from harmful ultraviolet rays. Due to constant exposure to the sun, dryness, photoaging, and loss of elasticity are possible. Therefore, balms should have a sun protection factor of SPF15 or SPF20. The composition may also contain zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, which will help the product penetrate into the deep layers and create the necessary protection on the surface.

Exfoliation with a scrub

The skin of the lips is constantly renewed. It is not surprising that you need to exfoliate from excess scrubs. Take delicate preparations so as not to injure your lips. Sugar scrub should contain honey, petroleum jelly, vegetable oils, berry extracts, vitamins.

Lip masks

Use masks for night care. Do them two or three times a week, using a product based on hyaluronic acid, vegetable oils, vitamins, and fatty acids. Such care will be especially useful for lip lickers. Because this only dries them out more and requires proper care.

Lip oils

Put away lip glosses and replace them with oils – this is our recommendation for those who are in the stage of lip restoration. Decorative cosmetics are not so ideal as to completely replace care. While it remains so, it is better to replace all lipsticks with pigmented oils. This will protect the skin of the lips from excessive dryness and make your lips look more attractive.
