]]>An essential step for all skin health, keeping on top of your water intake will leave your skin feeling bouncier and more supple. It’s easier to remember to drink enough during summer, as we often feel thirstier, so consider investing in a waterbottle which tracks you water consumption throughout the day. Herbal teas count towards hydration, but don’t drink anything super hot, as this can damage the skin on your lips.
During the colder months, regular but gentle exfoliation can help your lips to stay smooth and shiny. To make your own lip scrub, take one tablespoon of beeswax (or coconut oil), stir one teaspoon of large sugar granules through it. Using a finger, rub this scrub over your lips, then rinse with cold water. It should gently remove any dead skin, without cutting or rubbing your lips.
Beeswax seals in moisture and creates a barrier between the elements and your lips. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, so it can help to heal any minor cuts or wounds on your lips. As lip balm is usually applied regularly, it is also a good idea to go for natural ingredients, as inevitably a tiny proportion of the balm ends up inside your mouth.

]]>Thought SPF was just for summer. No way! Sun rays are out and about throughout the year and since the skin on our lips is so delicate, make sure to give it some SPF love.
When lips are dry, our first instinct is to moisten them—usually by licking. But the enzymes in our saliva can actually have a counter effect and dry out our lips even more. Another harmful habit is picking at the skin that is flaking off. As tempting as it may be, pulling, biting, and picking can all cause even more damage.
If your lips are dry and cracking, lip balm really is your best friend. Look for a product that contains lanolin or petroleum as these can lock in moisture and smooth out the chapped skin. It’s best to avoid anything with camphor or menthol, however, as these can leave your lips feeling painful and irritated.
