HOW TO HELP WINTER CHAPPED LIPS
This is a magical time of year.
Its the holidays.
Shopping for Christmas but the cold winter winds can wreck havoc on our skin and most importantly the the skin on our lips leaving us with chapped lips, And that is not a very cute look.
Today im going to share with you several tips on how to help prevent winter chapped lips.
With all the holiday parties and family get togethers, we need our lips to stay in the best shape ever so that all the lipstick you will be wearing will still look amazing and not to mention, kissing under that mistletoe with that special someone.
Lets get to the tips
1. Drink plenty of water. Its so easy to become dehydrated with all the shopping and staying busy but its so important to drink lots of water. Our skin is most water so staying hydrated needs to be the number one thing that we do.
2. Exfoliate your lips. This is very important to get rid of flaky skin on your lips. You can purchase ELF lip exfoliator
or you can make your own
Here is a Chocolate lip scrub mask. to get you in the mood for the holidays.
3. Condition your lips at night.
Blistex has a conditioning lip serum. This is a super moisturizing lip serum that offers a nutrient rich oil complex that includes olive and avocado oils as well as vitamin e. This is the prefect way to end an evening by making this the last step of your skincare routine before bed. You just put this on and then go to sleep.
4. Protect your lips. Protecting your lips from the harsh sun is a must. Even when the sun is sitting behind some clouds, and the cold wind is blowing , you still need to protect your lips. Blistex has several products that contain SPF. The ones in the photos below are two that i am currently loving. The superfruit soother which has a unique blend of acai and cloudberry superfruits with a hint of mint. Blended together, these provide a nourishing dose of antioxidants and vitamins c and e and contains spf 15.
The other one is the Global Blend which combines long trusted nourishing ingredients from around the world. African mango butter, South American jojoba oil and Asian pearl powder, along with Blistex proven moisturizers to deliver the best for your lips and its also contains SPF 15 to protect your lips as well.
5. And my last tip is NEVER LICK YOUR LIPS. This is the most drying thing that you can do to your lips and it will most definitely leave your lips chapped and nasty.
SO head to your local walmart of drugstore and pick up all three of these products and take care of your lips right now.
Your lipstick and the person you kiss under that mistletoe will thank you.
