How to Take Care of Your Lips

The environment can wreak havoc on your lips. They have a super-thin outer layer and few oil-producing glands, which means they can get dried out easily.

Wind and pollution contribute to dryness, but nothing is worse for lips than the sun. Prolonged sun exposure increases your risk of skin cancer and premature aging. So it’s very important to keep your lips protected and hydrated throughout the year.

In the summer

Apply a water-resistant lip balm with a good SPF. Apply it throughout the day for maximum benefits. If they're extra dry and chapped, gently exfoliate them with a soft toothbrush.

In the winter

The cold months can be almost as harsh as warmer ones. Keep lip balm on hand and don't lick your lips. Saliva quickly evaporates, causing lips to dry out easily.

Oh, and don't smoke

Everyone knows it’s just plain unhealthy for you. But puffing can also cause premature wrinkles around the lips and make you look older than you are!
