Dry, chapped lips are an unwelcomed thing that comes with winter and whilst they aren't always avoidable, you certainly can take certain steps to prevent them. However you should always take care of your lips all year round as these steps can leave you with healthy, full, plump lips; letting you channel your inner Kylie Jenner.
Drink plenty of water - Not only is drinking water good for you but it keeps your skin soft and healthy including your lips. A dehydrated body = dehydrated lips, so drink up!
Exfoliate, Exfoliate, Exfoliate! - Dry skin can build up on your lips so you need to slough it away in order for them to be smooth. Personally I love to use a Lush Lip Scrub, my favourite is the Mint Julips one, it tastes like mint chocolate chips! If lip scrubs aren't your thing or out of your price range another great product to use is a toothbrush. With a damp toothbrush gently brush the bristles over your lips for a quick exfoliation.
Moisturise - Following up with a lip balm is a must however most only act as a barrier at keeping moisture in. Whilst these are great throughout the day you need something more hardcore throughout the night. My favourite for the day time are the Maybelline Baby Lips Electro in Berry Bomb and the Figs and Rouge Lip Balm in Cherry Blossom, these both have tints to them that are great for the day time as they add some colour to your lips. At night time I like to use something much thicker and moisturising to let it do its job; I either like to use the Lipglam Natural Lanolin Lip Balm or Coconut Oil.
What are your top tips/products for soft lips?
