How do you take care of your lips?

Stop blaming lipstick and forget that your tired lips are caused by negligence and neglect. The skin of your lips is the most sensitive compared to the rest of the skin on the face, while the lips do not contain sebaceous or sweat glands. In addition to the fact that lips lose 3-10 times more moisture than other areas of the face, it is not surprising that they suffer from dehydration. But what do most of us instinctively do when we feel dry lips? Of course, we try to moisten them with the tongue, which exacerbates the problem, because saliva damages the thin skin layer on the lips, making them drier, to the point of scaling and bleeding. Therefore, we advise you to adopt the following tips to maintain soft lips at all times:

1- Always keep hydrated

Keep applying lip balm as part of your daily skin care routine. You can not use lip balm containing SPF at night because you do not need to and replace it with lip balm containing vitamin A or vitamin E to nourish her skin.

2- Choose the right foundation

Adopt some preparatory steps to make your lips look the most beautiful without color leakage or lipstick disappearing: apply the foundation cream on your lips, then color the entire area and not just the lip contour using the liner, as long as you always stay within the natural lip line. And when you define the lips by following their natural shape, you can extend the line a little, but without exaggeration, to maintain a natural plump appearance for your lips.

3- Apply lipstick correctly

Start by applying the color from the center of the lips, then extend it towards the corners of the mouth. So that the lipstick does not end up on your teeth, put your index finger in your mouth, close your lips around it, and then pull it out. This is a great way to remove excess color. Make sure to wipe with your finger, or the color will end on your clothes.

4- Set the color well

For day makeup, use moisturizing formulas and neutral colors of lipstick. For occasional makeup, it is better to adopt glossy formulas and bold colors to give a touch of renewal to the look.

If you do not like long-wearing lipstick because its formula usually causes lips to dry out. Use the following steps to set the lipstick: After applying the color, pat it with a tissue. Then put a little powder on the lips using the brush and re-apply the color again. Following these steps protects the lips from drying out, flaking, and cracking.
