It’s the holiday season again, which means harmattan is slowly setting in and very soon we will see it effect on our skin and our lips.
The lips tend to get hyper sensitive and prone to dryness, lip crack, chapped and flaky, which may cause pain and discomfort. Don’t stress! I have got your back during this season.
Read on to find out how to protect your lips during this dry season.
1. Don’t Lick Your Lips.
Licking your lips Strips all the natural moisture from your lips and any moisturizer applied on your lips.
To help prevent you from licking on your lips, you can chew gum or candy or toffee.
2. Drink Water.
Drinking water is not just important to the body but your oral area as well. Keeping hydrated will help stop dryness and cracking of lips, it maintains the moisture level of lips and your lips will look healthier and fuller.
3. Eat Healthily.
To keep not just your body health but your lips healthier, eat balanced diets. Make sure you eat lots of green leafy, veggies, fruits and nuts.
Reduce the intake of spicy foods and citrus fruits during this season.
4. Exfoliate Your Lips.
Don’t exfoliate only your skin but your lips too. This helps removes dead cells accumulated over lips and brings out soft skin. You can exfoliate your lips once or twice a week, ohhh!! Try the honey-sugar lip scrub and thank me later.
5. Lip Balm Time.
Lip balm is a friend but becomes a best friend during the dry season. Look for balms that are made out of natural ingredients such as Shea, almond, coconut, cocoa butter and olive oil. Now that is how to moisturize your lips.
Follow this simple tips during this harmattan season and your lips will be sure to thank you.
