6 Tips to protect your lips from the cold
Use coconut oil: Coconut oil is very good for lips as it acts as a good nourishing moisturizer and will give you cracked free lips. For a deep hydrating result we recommend butter stick lip treatment which has coconut oil and lemon butter and comes with SPF.
The thin skin of your lips loses moisture rapidly, especially in the winter. So make sure lips are covered with lip balm as often as possible. Argan oil is your lips best friend. Make sure you use lipsticks with argan oil or shea butter so that your lips don't crack in the cold.
Our lips are not protected by hair or sebaceous glands (oil glands), so they start to chap, therefore weekly exfoliation is a must. Lip scrub works great to gently exfoliate dry lips. For a homemade lip scrub, mix brown sugar and honey and gently scrub lips until the sugar crystals melt. Wash and pat dry.
If you're a matte enthusiast, and your lips begin to feel dry, always keep a gloss handy.
Start your make-up routine by moisturizing your lips for which you can use the good old Vaseline. Keep it on for a minute, blot the excess and go ahead with the lipstick application.
