If you want soft lips.. 😏👁👄👁

Soft and smooth lips are achievable through proper care and maintenance. Here are some tips to help you get soft lips:
-
Exfoliate: Gently exfoliating your lips helps remove dead skin cells, making them look smoother and feel softer. You can make a simple lip scrub at home using sugar and honey or olive oil, or buy a lip scrub from a drugstore or beauty store. Apply the scrub gently onto your lips, rub in circular motions, then rinse off with warm water.
-
Hydrate: Drinking plenty of water keeps your body hydrated, including your lips. Adequate hydration will prevent chapping and flaking.
-
Moisturize: Use a lip balm or chapstick that contains ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, vitamin E, or petroleum jelly to lock in moisture and provide nourishment to your lips. Apply generously throughout the day, especially after eating or drinking.
-
Avoid licking your lips: Saliva contains digestive enzymes that can irritate and dry out your lips, leading to more frequent lip-licking and a vicious cycle. Try to resist the urge to lick your lips, even when they feel dry.
-
Protect your lips from the elements: Extreme temperatures, wind, and sunlight can all contribute to dry, chapped lips. Cover your lips with a scarf during winter walks or apply a lip balm with SPF whenever you go outside.
-
Limit caffeine intake: Caffeinated drinks like coffee, tea, and soda can dehydrate your body, including your lips. If you consume caffeinated beverages, try to balance them with water to maintain hydration levels.
-
Practice good oral health habits: Brushing and flossing your teeth regularly can help prevent inflammation around your mouth, which can lead to dryness and cracking of your lips.
-
Get enough rest: Proper sleep promotes overall health, including skin and lip health. Make sure you get enough shuteye to allow your body to repair itself overnight.
By following these steps consistently, you should notice improvements in the texture and appearance of your lips, leaving them feeling soft and looking great!
Here are some products to insure soft lips, you can get these from the drug store like CVS or Walgreens, or get them from a Kroger in the Skincare Section
