Another add-on to the whole lot of cosmetic products are the lip care products! If you check the number of skin and hair care cosmetics; well, it is better if you don't, since these are too many to count! Though lip care might not seem a necessity but these have to be taken care of, and in a good way of course! Generally, we might not face any problems related to lips, but when we do, it could be worse mainly because of their unsightly appearance. So, here are some really useful products that would help you deal during such unpleasant times. Take a look.
Lip Problems
Dry Lips
Come winter, and I guess most of us have to deal with what is known as dry chapped lips. Yeah! And to worsen the matter, it often leads to itching of the lips followed by peeling of the skin over them. Though not a serious issue, these are a reason enough to irritate us.
Other Lip Problems
Apart from the common problem of dry lips, people can suffer from lip discoloration, cracked lips, lip sores, swollen lips, numb lips and other problems due to various reasons. Some serious issues would require doctor's medications while most can be cured.
Lip Balms
An excellent alternative to the petroleum jelly are lip balms. I am sure you must have used many of them since these are excellent to protect the lips form dehydration due to wind, climate, sun etc. However, while purchasing, look out for the ingredients. Go for lip balms which have vitamins and antioxidants that will nourish your lips.
Lip Masks
You get these in local cosmetic stores however if you go for homemade masks, that would be awesome! Make these masks at home and apply them to your lips before sleeping. Wash them the next morning. You will notice the difference!
- Honey mask
- Olive oil and Carrot juice mask
- Cottage cheese, Sour cream and Carrot juice mask
- Yogurt and Sour cream mask
Another product that would keep your lips healthy despite the constant use of lip liner, lipstick or lip gloss, are the lip primers. It is a cosmetic which acts as a foundation and helps the makeup stay longer. It is best for use if one has an allergy towards lip makeup products.
Exfoliating the Lips
When you notice any of the lip problems, first of all try to exfoliate your lips. Exfoliation is basically rejuvenation of your lips. What you need to do is clean your lips very gently, apply petroleum jelly and massage the lips in circular motion for sometime. This will help freshen up your lips, more precisely the skin, in and around them.
