Lip Care
Greetings friends of Steemit and Healthy Steem
Most moisture actually escapes our lips from our body which is weird I wouldn't afford that so when they lose that moisture the skin on our lips becomes tight. It becomes cracked obviously very dry which then starts to make them flaky quite dark and very very sore in some cases as well when it becomes to dark lips. Things like sun exposure, smoking and of course bad diets all add up to making your lips very very dark along with losing moisture from our lips too.
I follow a simple routine for both daytime and nighttime, including exfoliation, moisturizing, and using lip balm with SPF.
In the daytime I like to lock in that moisture and go outside and battle with the elements out there. At the moment it is winter so it's cold and very very harsh cold wind so it's a really easy way to combat the chapped lips and the dark
The lips are to exfoliate and moisturize so this is what I like to In the morning I like to after the shower once my lips are nice and soft I immediately go in with a lip scrub now this is just a sugar scrub. I'm taking this castor sugar jojoba oil. So all I do is just scrub this very very lightly on the lips.
I even make scrubs. All we need is brown sugar then coconut oil or honey. I just mix that in with the brown sugar. Then rub it very gently on my lips with coconut oil. I'll put moisturizer over my lips whatever and then finish it off with a lip balm my personal favorite is Nivea and protect with an SPF.
I will be using this all day so I'll be topping this up maybe even every hour. I avoid licking my lips.
Thank you for reading my post.
