We
feel so cosy in autumn yet it recalls your unpleasant experience on lips – you
find them always dry, chapped and painful even though you have put on much lip
balm…...These are what you may not know: the thickness of the skin on lips is only
1/3 (!) of that of the other skin on the body, with no oil glands acting as a
barrier for it. Its thinness makes it so fragile. You must have experienced hurt and painful lips in autumn before.
Never
omit lips protection techniques! You may spend this autumn trying these Do's and
Don’ts, and you may have big surprises!
Do
Lip Exfoliation
You would find skincare products work more effectively
on impurity-free lips! Never tear off dead and cracked skins directly (you
are brave!) and maintain regular lip exfoliation (lips definitely need it). Have a massage at least once a week. A warm towel may help softening
your lips, followed by a good scrub. sara happ the lip scrub™ helps eliminating
dry and flaky skin. It is enriched with Grape and Jojoba Seed Oil that make your lips feel hydrated. Don’t forget to work cautiously
on your fragile lips.
Do
Always Prepare A Good Lip Balm
Look for a good lip balm with the right nutrients. In autumn, we need to know these
typical names: Coconut oil, Vitamin E, Shea Butter and Beeswax, etc., which help
moisturize your lips. Although sunlight may not be so vigorous recently, we
need a product with SPF to reinforce protection.
Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour
Cream Lip Protectant Stick SPF 15 is a good choice. It is a super-protective
stick with great ingredients like Castor Seed Oil and Vitamin E that treat your
lips to eight hour care. With this lip protectant stick, your lips become
soft, moisturized and smooth.
A SPF 15 basis is also fascinating!
L'Occitane Shea Butter Ultra Rich Lip Balm Stick is good enough
with Shea Butter and Castor Oil which nourish, repair and protect the lips. It
leaves your lips comfortable, supple and soft, at a very beautiful price!
Know the proper way to put on lip balm? Apply it on
your lips and press them together for 5 seconds to ensure it absorb completely.
Use your lipstick afterwards. Moreover, your lips need a mask at night! Apply a
liberal amount on lips. Gently clean with a cotton pad after 15 minutes. Your lips
will become supple again!
Don’t
Lick Lips Anymore!
Licking your lips may bring them moisture……for an
instant only! You feel that your lips are hydrated after licking them but you
shall get rid of this habit from now on. It dehydrates lips and what is even
worse is that saliva contains digestive enzymes which will destroy the
protective barrier on lips, especially under the dry climate. Better prepare a
good balm instead of keeping a bad, lip-licking habit.
Why not keeping a
dermatologist-recommended skincare brand lipstick? Say goodbye to painful and
dry patches. La Roche-Posay Nutritic Levres Lips is renowned for its long-lasting
smoothing effect.
Don’t
Get Dehydrated…
Drinking adequate water is good for your body, skin
and lips! (At least 8 cups daily). Cups of water bring you changes. Have a try for
a week if you haven’t done so before.
You do not need the greatest lip balm but excellent
and effective protection techniques! Healthy lips will definitely help you become
confident and pretty. Share them with your friends!
