Mastering The Art Of September Lip Care
As the weather shifts, your lips need extra love. Here’s how to keep them hydrated and soft throughout September.
The ritual, step by step
- Exfoliate Gently Use a lip scrub or a soft toothbrush to gently exfoliate your lips once a week. This removes dead skin and allows for better product absorption.
- Hydrate with Balm Apply a hydrating lip balm with nourishing ingredients like shea butter or coconut oil. Reapply throughout the day, especially after eating or drinking.
- Stay Hydrated Drink plenty of water to keep your body, and therefore your lips, hydrated from the inside out. Aim for at least 2 litres daily.
- Avoid Lip Licking Resist the urge to lick your lips when they feel dry. Saliva can evaporate quickly, leaving your lips drier than before. Instead, reach for your balm.
Where people go wrong
Many people forget to exfoliate regularly, leaving dead skin to accumulate. Others rely solely on balms without drinking enough water. Don't fall into the trap of licking your lips; it makes them worse.
