LIP CARE 101: TIPS ON HOW TO KEEP YOUR LIPS HEALTHY

LIP CARE 101: TIPS ON HOW TO KEEP YOUR LIPS HEALTHY

 

WHAT ARE HEALTHY LIPS?

The answer to this question starts by explaining how healthy lips look: they should be pink, soft, and smooth. Lips serve as a versatile part of the body facilitating essential functions like eating, speaking, and expressing emotions. Orchestrated by various muscles, lips are prone to developing fine lines over time, affecting both upper and lower lip areas.

 

HEALTHY VS. UNHEALTHY LIPS

Lacking oil glands and possessing thinner skin layers, lips naturally lose volume, strength, and elasticity with age, often leading to dryness and chapping. Exposure to sun, smoking, dehydration, licking and biting lips will contribute to the unhealthy appearance of your lips.  People who search both for how to get healthy lips naturally and for the best acne safe skincare chose us, over and over again!

 

ESSENTIAL LIP CARE FOR HEALTHY LIPS

Now that we established what healthy lips are, here are some tips for lip care that are imperative for maintaining smooth and healthy lips:

  • Stay hydrated to prevent dryness and cracking.

  • Steer clear of irritants like essential oils and allergens.

  • Opt for nourishing lip balms containing ingredients such as castor oil, glycerin, ceramides, hemp seed oil, dimethicone, mineral oil, and shea butter. Effective lip balms should possess humectants to attract moisture, emollients to add moisture and oil, and a protective barrier to seal in moisture.

  • Try "slugging" by generously applying lip balm or Aquaphor overnight to allow the lips to rejuvenate.

ADDRESSING LIP BREAKOUTS

Lip breakouts, commonly occurring along the lip margin, can stem from various factors such as hormonal changes, irritants, hair removal, and comedogenic products. To manage and prevent breakouts, consider Biba de Sousa products, as the best skincare for acne-prone skin.

  • Prioritize good hygiene practices.

  • Regularly exfoliate to remove dead skin cells.
