Lip balms and lipsticks

How to care for your lips every day?

As always, regularity and prevention are key. The good news is that lip products can be applied around the clock, practically without limit - feel free to reach for a balm or lip stick whenever you feel the need. Some record-holders do it dozens of times a day, yet they often forget that the best time for lip regeneration is while we sleep. Apply a thicker layer of balm at night instead of just a swipe of lip stick. Proper hydration of the whole body also matters a lot - in other words, drink water!

Moisturising and nourishing your lips isn't everything. How else can you care for them? Once a week, in the evening, treat them to a gentle scrub that removes dead skin and also boosts circulation and lip colour. On sunny days, remember to use a lip balm with high SPF to protect your lips from harmful UV radiation. In colder months, it's a good habit to apply a rich lip balm before going out, not once you're already outside. Don't forget your lips during your morning and evening skincare routine either - even if you don't wear lip make-up, foundation or powder can build up on them, so don't skip them when removing make-up. And when using strong active ingredients such as exfoliating acids or anti-wrinkle retinol, protect your lips beforehand with a thicker layer of lip balm. Proper lip care also means giving up habits that harm them. Stop licking your lips, especially in frosty weather - saliva only seems to moisturise them; it dries very quickly and in the long run can contribute to dryness. Secondly, never bite off dry flakes! This strips your lips of their already too thin protective layer and exposes them to small wounds and bleeding, which encourages infections. It's also important to breathe in and out only through your nose - mouth breathing dries the lips, as night-time snorers know all too well ;)

But here's the good news - once you give your lips proper care, you'll simply stop feeling the urge to lick or bite them.
