Attaining Kissable Lips! #GOLDENUDE
10:15 PM
Oh, the joys of a plumped, pretty pucker! Just like with your complexion, did you know that our lips need to go through a thorough prep prior to applying makeup? This is to slough away dead skin, treat dry, cracked lips, and nourish with a sheen balm for us to achieve that all natural, kissable lips.
You want a smooth canvas so that your lipstick applies effortlessly and actually accentuates your lips, instead of hindering them. But with so many amazing lip prep products now available, how do we use them… and what do they actually do?
Fret not beauties, because in this post, we’ve put together a short (and totally achievable) list of tips to help you prep your lips!
Use nourishing oils
Your lips are very soft and sensitive, so that makes olive oil the ideal product to use on dry chapped lips. Olive oil will help soften your lips, it will be absorbed quickly and it won’t irritate the skin at all. You can also use other nourishing oils to hydrate your lips, for example, sweet almond oil, avocado oil, rosehip oil, linen seed oil, grape seed oil, coconut oil, rice bran oil, and shea butter.
Use lip balm
Your lips can easily dry out in the wind, so use lip balm on them regularly to keep them hydrated. Carry lip balm with you all the time and top up the moisture, whenever you feel you need to.
Exfoliate weekly
Another tip on how to take care of your lips is to exfoliate weekly. Exfoliating your lips will remove the dead skin cells and expose the soft and kissable skin underneath. Sprinkle some sugar on a piece of fruit, such as banana, mango, strawberry, or any other fruit you like, and then rub your lips gently with it. This is the best and tastiest way there is to exfoliate your lips.
Invest in a trusty vitamin E lipstick
Because your lips are so sensitive, it is best not to use the cheapest lipstick that you can find or it will dry out your lips. Look for lip products that contain Vitamin E, so that way, your lips will look great and you’ll be helping keep them soft and kissable, all at the same time.
Massage your lips
Next beauty tip on how to take care of your lips is to give your lips a daily massage and that will help keep them in good health too. Rub your fingertips, in a circular motion, over your lips and it will help increase the blood supply to your mouth.
These are just some off the bat beauty tips for prepping and priming your lips. Do share with us in the comment section down below on how you take care of your lips, Golden Belles!
Until then, flush and shine ♡
