The cold, the wind, the rain, the heating… All these factors make your lips dry, crack and eventually cut. And as if that were not enough, bacteria accumulate in those cracks, not to mention how bad the lipstick looks when our lips are cut.
The skin of the lips is very sensitive and is always exposed. Cold weather contributes to the lips losing their natural lubricants. Dehydration and low sebaceous production are what cause your lips to become dry and chapped. No matter how chic the rosy touch of burned lips is, the next step is pain and bleeding. So if you want to recover your plump and soft lips, take note of these tricks:
If you want a home remedy to cure chapped lips you can use honey and a lotion with argan oil. You should apply a liberal amount of pure honey on your lips and then coat them with argan oil lotion. After 15 minutes with the mixture, remove the excess with the help of damp cotton. You can also rub a few drops of coconut, almond, jojoba, olive, cocoa or shea butter oil to moisturise lips and relieve dryness.
Don’t pull the skins loose! You’ll make your lips bleed. Pure aloe vera is a natural healing agent with great healing power that will allow you to laugh out loud without splitting your lip and bleeding.
If the pain becomes very intense, you can rub a slice of cucumber on your lips for 10 minutes every day. Honey also relieves the discomfort of chapped lips. Vitamin E lip care will restore all the flexibility and comfort to your lips thanks to the combination of its ingredients:
Avoid chapped lips
The skin on the lips also needs exfoliation. When we remove dead skin, the surface is smooth and soft. Apply the scrub carefully with circular movements with the help of a gauze pad. Once a week, use an exfoliant that contains sugar crystals to reduce dead cells and increase the softness and shine of your lips.
Apply a repairing treatment with high moisturising power. Look for products with natural olive, beeswax, avocado, sunflower, and soybean oils … and you will notice how the hydration returns to your lips. Apply a generous amount of the balm and leave it on for a few minutes.
If you are going to face this winter cold, use a Vitamin E lip balm every time you go outside. Better if you also apply one with sun protection. If you are one of those who make up your lips daily, use a lip balm before applying the lipstick, this step will ensure that your lips get proper hydration and protection.
