Lip Care 101 — VANITY STORIES

One of the most beautiful features of a face is the lips. They are the portal through which wonderful ideas, words of love, and self-expression flow through. Thus, it is important to nourish and care for our lips as we would any other part of our bodies.

Lips tend to get dry if we do not receive proper hydration, especially during the winter months. Starting with a clean slate is a good starting point in your lip care routine. Using a gentle exfoliating scrub allows you to treat the lips effectively, ensuring that your products are seeping in and not sitting on the dead skin on top.

Lip masks have grown in popularity, and for good reason. It may seem “extra” to buy a mask specifically for your lips, but lip masks are definitely worth the price. They are not just the usual lip balm slapped with some new marketing: Lip masks are specifically formulated to pack a punch when it comes to hydration and locking in moisture. They are thicker in consistency compared to your usual lip balm, which is essential when wearing them throughout a night’s rest.

The morning after masking, maintain your lip care throughout the day by topping up now and then with a good lip balm. Taking care of your lips will also allow for smoother lipstick or lipgloss application, taking your beauty game to a whole new level.
