Lip masks

When communicating with people, their gaze often lingers on the face: eyes or lips. Beautiful, smooth, soft and sensual lips always attract the eye, not like dry and cracked ones. Just as we take care of our face and body, our lips also need care.

Lip care

At any time of the year, winter (more) or summer (no less), our lips need care. In cold weather, they become chapped and cracked, and in hot heat, lips dry out in the sun and begin to peel. To make them look beautiful and soft, you need to devote a little time to them every day. In the morning or evening, massage with a toothbrush or a corner of a towel. After it, apply cream or oil. Once or twice a week, exfoliate with a gentle exfoliator, apply masks on and around the lips, moisturize and they will conquer many.

Lip scrub

For smooth and soft lips, gentle exfoliation should be done. In cold weather, no more than twice a month, in summer - once a week, as necessary, but always. There is a huge variety of lip scrubs in stores, of different brands, at varying prices. The most important thing is that they must contain natural ingredients. The grains of sand should be small so as not to damage the delicate skin.

Scrubs can also be made at home; you don’t need many ingredients, and what you need is always on hand:

• baking soda and honey, one teaspoon of each product is mixed with a few drops of vegetable oil, applied for a few minutes, then the lips are massaged and the mass is washed off with warm water;
• fine salt and cream, applied to lips cleansed of cosmetics, gently massaged for a minute and removed with a cotton pad;
• aspirin and unrefined cane sugar (half a spoon each) are mixed with a small amount of jojoba oil and glycerin;
• in the summer, a strawberry scrub is relevant - a tablespoon of olive oil, half a spoonful of honey and lemon juice, a teaspoon sugar and some mashed strawberries. A thick paste is applied to the lips for 5-10 minutes and washed off.

Lip oil

You can use various oils to moisturize your lips. They can be natural, or they can be from the store, for example, Nivea brand oil, which moisturizes and nourishes the lips quite well (any sweet tooth will like different scents).
Castor or olive oil Apply before bed and do not wash off until the morning so that your lips receive proper nutrition. In part, you can apply it before going outside in the winter, and apply gloss or lipstick on top. Surprisingly, but true - if you lubricate your lips with butter, the skin softens and is provided with vitamin B. Are your lips chapped? Take hemp oil and a heated candle wax, mix and leave on your lips overnight, at dawn they will be as good as new. In cold weather, be sure to lubricate your lips before going outside - with sunflower, olive, almond, and corn oils. Oil solutions of vitamins A and E are also effective.

Lip masks

Pamper your lips with different masks more often, and they will be more youthful and elastic:

• banana mask – contains nourishing and moisturizing ingredients, grind the pulp with a small spoon of sour cream and leave on your lips for 10 minutes;
• sour cream or kefir mask - apply a thick layer of kefir (sour cream) on your lips and leave for 10 minutes, when it dries, apply another layer, and a third, after the last, wait 10 minutes and wipe off with warm water;
• fruit masks - grate a piece of kiwi (pear, peach, watermelon or vegetables: tomatoes, carrots, beets) on a fine grater, mix a small spoon of this mass with butter (0.5 tsp), and spread on lips for 20 minutes.

Mask around lips

The skin around the mouth also needs to be taken care of, as it ages and is susceptible to dryness and fine wrinkles appear. To nourish it, use avocado pulp - just apply it to the area around the mouth for 10-15 minutes, or make a mask against wrinkles from it. Mix the pulp (1 tsp), honey (1 tsp) and egg yolk and apply for a few minutes. Mix olive oil (tsp), starch (tsp) with half a small spoon of fish oil (it contains healthy omega-3s). Apply for 25 minutes.

Lip cream

Are you worried about discomfort and dryness of your lips? A quick and simple solution is a baby cream, quite useful and softening; after a short time after application, you will feel that your sponges feel better. It is a well-known fact that lips are similar in quality to the skin around the eyes, and in extreme cases, bravely smear your lips with eyelid cream. When choosing a lip cream in the store, carefully study the ingredients and choose those that contain oils, such as shea butter.
