Luscious Lips

Lips NEED Love Too!

I love lips, my lips, your lips, just lips in general.I think they are beautiful and expressive.However, there is nothing that scares me or grosses me out more then dry, chapped lips.Ewww.Now that I have offended some readers, I can move on.

Lips are the first place I feel dehydration.If you are not drinking enough water or fluids, then your lips can dry out.Now, I am not saying this is like a total rule or anything.I know there are some people out there – I hate you by the way – that don’t need to use chapstick or anything and it is not fair.I have to apply lip balm like 53 times a day and go through a stick like every 2 and a half weeks, it’s ridiculous.Just talking about this makes my lips dry.

Your lips can use a little TLC.SPF is something you can look for in your lip balms, if not you can use your face SPF the same way on your lips, providing that the ingredients are safe and nontoxic.The skin of your lips is delicate and photosensitive.Lip moisturizers come in all kinds of textures and flavors, the key is to pick one that you like because you will be using it a lot.Also, your lips could use a once-in-awhile exfoliation.I like to do it once every three weeks or so.This helps your lips retain moisture better and gets rid of that yucky dead skin on the surface.The exfoliation should be gentle though, and be super careful if you are prone to cold sores as too much exfoliation can trigger one.

Lotus Moon’s Adzuki Bean & Rose Petal Polishing Powder is an excellent product that you could use for the lip exfoliation as it is very gentle.  Lotus Moon also has an amazing Lip Recovery Lip Balm.It contains all the best plant-based moisturizers on the planet: Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter and Avocado Butter – with a splash of pomegranate extract for that much needed antioxidant protection.  The best route to take when looking for a lip balm.

Lips should be kissably soft and supple, with Lip Recovery Lip Balm, they will be. And it’s only $7.

Question: How do you keep your lips lovable?  When dryness attacks, what do you do?
