How to care for the skin of the lips

The skin of the face is very thin and delicate, it requires delicate care both in the cold and in the warm season. The skin on the lips is even more sensitive than on the face, it tends to be covered with microcracks and inflammation when the temperature changes.

I will tell you how to take care of the skin of the lips.

Lip care in spring and summer
In spring and summer, the skin needs hydration — dry air during this period, no less cold and frosty, leads to weathering, cracks and peeling.

Lip care should include scrubbing, moisturizing with masks and balms, protection with cream and oil.

It is better to choose scrubs with small particles, since the sensitive skin of the lips can be injured from large ones.

Lip balms are preferred on a natural basis, with oils and plant extracts. However, you should be careful if you have any allergic reactions: it is better to apply the product on the wrist first, and if after 20-30 minutes there is no negative reaction, the product can be applied to the lips.

Special lip masks are designed for night care and will help save time: while you sleep, the skin is actively recovering.

Oils are able to restore moisture balance and saturate the lip skin with vitamins. Lip cream as a means of intensive care perfectly moisturizes and nourishes, helps to fight the signs of aging.

Recently, lip patches have become popular. Their task is to restore the moisture balance and protect the lips from environmental influences. These products will also help to even out the relief of the lips, heal cracks and eliminate peeling. Patches are created on the basis of beeswax, honey, cocoa extracts, cotton and coconut oils with the addition of hyaluronic acid or collagen. Using patches after peeling will make the procedure more effective.

Lip care in winter
Cold winter air, wind, frost, as well as dry air provoked by hot batteries, negatively affects the sensitive skin of the lips. In winter, it is especially important to choose individual care and perform daily procedures so that the lip skin is healthy.

During winter care, it is important to do the right makeup: you can not use rough products, such as a scrub, you should clean your face only with a soft sponge. You should also give up lipstick and gloss, because they dry your lips even more. Instead of a scrub, it is preferable to use a peeling, as it gently exfoliates dead particles. You should also apply lip balm at night and 20 minutes before going outside.

It is very desirable to add foods with omega fatty acids to the diet and give up the bad habit of licking your lips in the cold.

By following these recommendations, you can keep your lip skin healthy and hydrated.

In winter, it is also necessary to update the cosmetic bag. First of all, there should be lip balm, lip mask, oil, cream, peels, patches.

The main thing that you should pay attention to when choosing: the composition (it should be as natural as possible — waxes, oils, plant extracts), to solve what problem the product is intended for, what type of skin it is designed for, what volume it has.

The lip scrubbing procedure should be performed once a week.
It is recommended to apply patches twice a week.
In winter, you should use hygienic lipstick or balm with good fat content daily.
In summer, it is necessary to additionally use SPF products even for lips. Some creams and balms have such protection, which is indicated on the package.
At night, you can make lip masks, apply cream or balm.
You can revise the diet by adding fatty fish, nuts, vegetables and herbs to it. This will help compensate for the lack of vitamins in the body.
You need to drink enough fluids throughout the day to maintain water balance throughout the body.
