As I’m sure you know girls, the colder weather wreaks havoc with our skin, and while many of us go to a lot of trouble to ensure our faces and bodies are well moisturised, we tend to forget that our lips need special attention too. Here are 7 steps to get your pout into tip top condition …

1. Exfoliate and Stimulate

Dryness is the number one problem we experience with our lips. Skin tends to accumulate and become flaky, and that, ladies, is not attractive. Buy yourself an ordinary soft bristled tooth brush and give your lips a gentle brush every morning. This removes dry skin, stimulates circulation and will have your kisser looking great in no time. Remember to apply a nourishing balm when you’re done.

2. Hydrate Hydrate Hydrate

As with so many other beauty problems, dry skin around the mouth is often linked with dehydration. Make sure you’re drinking plenty of water throughout the day to keep your lips looking lush.

3. Supplements for Suppleness

As with ordinary dry skin, your lips will benefit from an increase in the correct vitamins and minerals. Omega 3 is a great option and Vitamin A, taken in carefully regulated doses will also help – be sure to ask your pharmacist about this one ladies, as too much will really dry your skin out.
