Lip care tips
- If you are drinking alcohol, coffee and tea in excess and suffering from chapped and dry lips, then it is time to cut back on these.
- Massage your lips daily with almond oil or olive oil.
- You can also apply butter or milk cream before going to be daily. This will soften and provide softness to the lips.
- If it’s not butter or heavy cream, buy the brand name lip balm and apply it regularly.
- Don’t pick the dry flakes off your lips. But instead of this make the granular paste of sugar in olive oil. Massage this on your lips. It will have an exfoliating effect and remove dead and dry skin.
- Drink enough water to supply your lips.
- Take vitamin E supplements if necessary for smooth and supple skin.
- Try SPF lip balm if you are exposed to UV rays from sunlight for a longer period of time.
- Honey is the natural moisturizer. You can apply honey on your lips and wash it off after some time with water.
- Rub the lemon juice to remove the darkness from the lips.
