Thus, having soft, silky lips during the winter can be really hard but there is no need to think it’s impossible as there are actually some easy tricks that will help you to maintain the softness of your lips and not ruin your makeup routine! Just read below and get informed!
Apply coconut oil
Coconut oil is famous for its benefits and one of them appears its ability of maintaining the perfect condition of the lips during the cold seasons. In fact this is considered as one of the easiest ways of treating dry, cracked lips as all you have to do is apply a bit of coconut oil on your lips in the morning, preferably after showering and in the night.
Exfoliate well
Pay special attention to the exfoliating process during the winter as this is exactly when your lips tend to dry. Thus, use a toothbrush or a washcloth to exfoliate your lips and only after that apply coconut oil or any other lip balm on.
Limit caffeine
This may be a bit hard especially for those of you who can’t imagine their life without coffee, but even if you love coffee you have to limit the amount of caffeine that you use as caffeine has dehydrating abilities, which cause extra dryness. Go for teas or decafs and do not forget to drink lots of water.
Stick with naturals
In winter your skin gets very sensitive due to cold weather so avoid using makeup products with chemical nutrients and stick with natural, non-toxic ones.
Choose the right lip balm
The perfect choice would be a lip balm that contains SPF as whether you notice it or not sun rays still threaten your skin.
Drink lots of liquids and provide needed vitamins
Eat fruits, vegetables and leaf greens as much as possible as this is one of the best ways to take care of your lips. Also drink lots of teas, juices, water and eat soups more frequently. This way you’ll avoid dehydration and corresponding result of dry skin and dry, cracked lips.
