Lip Care
PICK THE RIGHT LIPSTICK
Choosing a lipstick that is perfect for your lips is critical, it makes a
lot of difference as to the way you look and portray yourself to the people
around you. The right lipstick can give you the perfect look for the given
occasion. You must never try a lipstick that looks good otherwise but not on
you. Many people make the wrong choice which results in the loss of good
money.
Now trends have changed lipstick are not only about looks of your lips and
face, but for better and fresh lips. If you are suffering from dry lips,
keep in mind to use lipstick with moisturizer. It has all the necessary
ingredients which make your lips soft and supple. They contain ingredients
like aloe, glycerin and Vitamin E.
Lipsticks which are high on oils are also very good as they provide the
necessary food for your lips to make them as supple as they ought to be.
Other commonly used lipsticks are those with a shine. These are considered
to be more dehydrating even though they provide a wet look.
Cream lipsticks are also on a roll as they come in different colours and
varieties. Always look for products which contain some valuable ingredient
to take care of your lips.
The other is transfer-resistant lipstick which is very popular with women on
the go who need to look presentable but have little time for makeup. This
lipstick helps maintain that fresh look even at the end of the day and one
neednt reapply. It can remain in this state for 4 to 6 hours, sometimes for
even longer.
Make it a point to buy lipsticks that are good for your lips and not just
for your looks.
PROTECT YOUR LIPS
Lips have only three to five layers of skin cells compared to 15 over rest
of the body. So you need to take care of your lips and protect them, much
more than you do for the rest of your body. Essentially, protect your lips
against the environment just like you would protect your skin, with
moisturizers, sunscreen et al. It might be a good idea, however, to avoid
regular usage of lip-balms that are petroleum-based, as these are addictive.
So look for balms that are non-petroleum based.
PRONOUNCE YOUR POUT WITH EXERCISE
Here is an exercise that will give your mouth a younger, firmer and fuller
look altogether! The Lips get enlarged and the lines above the upper lip
smoothen.
You can do it while sitting up or lying down.
The Exercise
Hold your lips together, without clenching your teeth.
Put the tip of your index finger in between your upper and lower lips.
Press lips together and visualize your finger as a stick that is being
crushed.
Gradually, pull out your finger from between the lips, while seeing the
stick.
Draw the energy point out and lengthen your imaginary stick until you feel
the burn.
Pulse your finger up and down quickly for a count of 30.
