We feel like we can pretty much say that Winter is officially here right? We’ve looked outside – it’s gross, it’s freezing and it’s currently ranging. So with coldness in mind, lets talk about how to keep your lips super soft and chapped free this Winter.
Super soft lips tip 1: Always be hydrated
We cannot emphasis this enough. Drink water. The most common cause of dry lips is lack of water. So to rule that one out drink a minimum of 2 litres of water a day, throughout the day, not all at once. You’ll notice a massive difference, we promise. If you don’t like water by itself you can find fruit infusion water bottles currently stocked in TK Maxx.
Super soft lips tip 2: Exfoliate
I know who thought that you’d need to exfoliate your lips? However – dead skin does need to be removed – especially if you’re planning on wearing lippy this festive season. The colour will go on so much smoother and won’t look gross with visible bits of dead skin. Our scrub of choice is Lush’s lip scrub in bubble gum. Top tip: exfoliate over a sink – it’s a messy business girls.
Super soft lips tip 3: Protect
Lips, like faces need protection form the cold weather. We like to use Carmex as it forms a slight barrier from all of those outside elements. The Carmex of choice is strawberry – by far our fave and can be found in Primark at the moment. If Carmex isn’t your cup of tea, Vaseline is also a great alternative. If you can find the Creme Brûlée one – go for that – it”s yummy.
Super soft lips tip 4: Moisturise
This is wear a lovely lip balm comes into play. We all have our own faves, so we’ll leave you with apply, apply and apply again. In the morning, throughout the day and before you go to bed.
