Every woman longs to have soft pink lips, as it enhances your smile and a pretty smile is the best accessory that a person has. However, having soft lips isn’t that easy as they are exposed to the sun, wind and dust particles and do a lot of work for you throughout the day.

Being the mother of a 5-year-old, I seldom get time to care for my lips. I can feel the dryness but don’t have much time to do anything about them. But when they become chapped, they often ache and then I’m forced to apply all the things I can.

The skin on your lips is much more delicate than the skin on your arms or legs so it is very important to take extra care of the lips. Unlike the other parts of your body, lips do not have sweat glands and you need to hydrate them externally.

Drinking too much red wine
Too much kissing!

Even if you have a very busy lifestyle but you can’t ignore lip care. Afterall, your lips are one of the most important parts of your face. Take a look at some tips to take care of your lips.

10 Easy Tips for Beautiful Lips:

#1. Prime/Lock in the moisture

Priming is the process of applying a lip balm to lock in moisture before applying lipstick. Make sure you use a lip balm with SPF as exposure to the sun darkens lips over time.

#3. Use lipstick only when needed

Don’t apply lipsticks daily. Although very commonly used, lipsticks are full of chemicals which may lead to darkening of lips. Instead, go for a tinted lip balm which has color instead of a lipstick for daily use.

#6. Exfoliate with a lip balm

Want to get rid of dry and flaky lips?

This is the perfect solution. Apply a thick layer of lip balm on the lips before going to bed and allow it to stay overnight. When you wake up in the morning, your lips would have absorbed most of the lip balm. Now use a soft damp cloth to gently remove all the dead skin cells. This helps to heal the cracks and reveal soft hydrated skin.
