Lip masks

When communicating with people, their gaze often lingers on the face: eyes or lips. Beautiful, smooth, soft and sensual lips are always eye-catching, let alone dry and cracked. As we take care of the face and body, the sponges also need care.

Lip care

At any time of the year, in winter (more) or in summer (no less), our lips need care. In the cold, they become weathered and cracked, and in the hot heat, the lips dry under the rays of the sun and begin to peel off. 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 the corner of a towel. Apply cream or oil afterwards. Scrub with a gentle exfoliation once or twice a week, apply masks on and around the lips, moisturize and they will conquer many.

Lip scrub

For smooth and delicate lips, a gentle exfoliation should be done. In cold weather, no more than twice a month, in summer - once a week, as needed, but necessary. In stores there is a huge variety of lip scrubs, different brands, different price availability. Most importantly, they must contain natural ingredients. The grains of sand should be fine so as not to damage the delicate skin.

Scrubs can be made at home, you don't need a lot of ingredients, but what you need is always at 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 cleared of cosmetics, gently massaged for a minute and removed with a cotton pad;
• aspirin and unrefined cane sugar (half a spoonful each) are mixed with a small amount of jojoba oil and glycerin;
• in summer, strawberry scrub is relevant - a tablespoon of olive oil, half a spoonful of honey and lemon juice, a teaspoon Sahara and a little mashed strawberries. A thick gruel is applied to the lips for 5-10 minutes and washed off.

Lip oil

You can use a variety of oils to moisturize your lips. They can be natural, or they can be from a store, for example, Nivea brand oil, which moisturizes and nourishes the lips well (different smells will appeal to any sweet tooth).
Castor or olive butter apply before going to bed and do not wash until morning so that the lips are properly nourished. Partly can be applied before going outside in winter, and on top, apply gloss or lipstick. Surprisingly, if the lips are lubricated with butter, the skin softens and is endowed with vitamin B. Chapped lips? We take hemp oil and a heated candle wax, mix and leave on the lips overnight, at dawn they will be as good as new. In the cold season, be sure to lubricate your lips in front of the street - sunflower, olive, almond, 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, rub the pulp with a small spoonful of sour cream and leave on the lips for 10 minutes;
• sour cream or kefir mask - apply a dense layer of kefir (sour cream) on your mouth and leave for 10 minutes, when it dries up, apply another layer, and the third, after the last one 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 spoonful of this mass with butter (0.5 tsp), and spread on the sponges for minutes for twenty.

Mask around the lips

The skin around the mouth also needs to be looked after, because it ages and is prone to dryness, fine wrinkles appear. To nourish it, use avocado pulp - just apply to the area around the mouth for 10-15 minutes, or make an anti-wrinkle mask out of it. Mix the pulp (1 tsp), honey (1 tsp) and the egg yolk and apply for a few minutes. Mix olive oil (tsp), starch (tsp) with half a small spoonful of fish oil (it contains useful omega-3). Apply for 25 minutes.

Lip cream

Worried about the discomfort and dryness of your lips? A quick and simple solution is a baby cream, quite useful and softening, shortly after application you will feel that the sponges feel better. It is a well-known fact that the lips are similar in quality to the skin around the eyes and in extreme excesses, courageously smear your lips with an eye cream. When choosing a lip cream in the store, carefully study the ingredients and take those that contain oils, such as shea butter.
