Why this worksDuring cooler months, the air tends to be drier, which can lead to chapped lips. By layering hydration and protection, you can create a barrier against moisture loss. Regular exfoliation also helps by removing dead skin, allowing for better absorption of hydrating products.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Exfoliate Your Lips Gently scrub your lips with a lip exfoliant or a DIY sugar scrub. This removes dead skin cells, making way for smoother, softer lips. Do this 1-2 times a week for best results.
  2. Apply a Hydrating Lip Mask Choose a nourishing lip mask that contains ingredients like shea butter or coconut oil. Apply a generous layer before bedtime to let it work overnight, ensuring you wake up with plump, moisturised lips.
  3. Use a Lip Balm Throughout the Day Keep a hydrating lip balm handy and apply it throughout the day, especially before going outside. Look for one with SPF to protect your lips from UV rays, even in cooler weather.
  4. Seal with a Lip Oil Finish your routine with a nourishing lip oil. This provides a protective layer that locks in moisture and gives your lips a healthy shine. Reapply as needed.

Where people go wrong

Many people forget to exfoliate, leading to buildup of dead skin. Others skip using a lip mask, missing out on overnight hydration. Also, not reapplying balm frequently enough can leave lips vulnerable to dryness.

The pro moveConsider using a humidifier at home to add moisture to the air, which helps keep your lips hydrated.
