Most women spend loads of money on cosmetics for their face but their lips are often neglected. Other than a cursory swipe of lipstick or a touch of lipgloss, many women do not bother too much about taking care of or worrying too much about their lips. But it is important to remember that looking after the lips, can not only add to your beauty, but also enhance any colour you may add as makeup.
The most common problem among women in India is having lips in different colours and this could be mainly due to sun exposure. Home remedies range from applying milk, honey, milk cream or lemon on them, but all this will be ineffective if you do not use sunscreen everyday. This will at least prevent the further darkening of the lips. And though there are only a few whitening creams for the lips, the best way to begin is by protecting them from the sun.
The second method suggested by experts to look after your lips and help them look good is to avoid licking them. Whenever your lips dry up, use lip balm or some pure petroleum jelly to soften them, instead of drying them out further by smacking them with your saliva. Also, look for balms that contain oils like almond or shea butter instead of the medicated ones that might dry out your lips further.
Make sure you exfoliate your lips often. This can be done with a soft baby toothbrush or a regular scrub. Don’t wear too many matte lipsticks that are also very drying. Always use a primer on your lips before applying lipstick.
The secret therefore for beautiful lips is learning to keep them soft and moist all the time. Only then, will the colours pop when you wear lipstick or and go a long way in making you look sizzling hot too.
