During the winter our lips can tend to dry out fastest leaving them in need of intensive protection and moisture, whilst the summer can heat them and leave them feeling sore. But all is not lost; for soft kissable lips all year round, follow our simple10 step plan:
Avoid licking your lips or biting the skin on the surface of your lips as it strips them of their natural oils, making them dry out faster.
Drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration.
In some cases sensitive or chapped lips could indicate sensitivity to an ingredient in your lipstick or toothpaste, so try switching products.
When outdoors use a lip balm to protect your lips from the elements.
Add a base coat of lip balm before applying lipstick, especially during the dry winter months for extra protection.
But avoid mainstream lipsticks while lips are recovering as the artificial ingredients them can further irritate chapped lips.
Apply lip balm before going to bed to help to moisturise lips while you sleep.
Never use a product that contains petroleum as it can cause photosensitivity and strips the natural oils from the skin and actually cause chapping and dryness, it can also cause premature ageing.
Choose a product that is organic, natural and full of nourishing and healing ingredients.
