Use these simple tips to get gorgeous, smooth and hydrated lips!

  • After brushing your teeth, rinse your toothbrush and move it in circular motions across your lips. The exfoliating action helps remove dead, dry skin cells, revealing a smoother texture. It also helps get circulation going, which gives a plumping effect.
  • If you use a mild exfoliant on your skin, use it about twice weekly on your lips (just don't get it in your mouth)! Since we tend to lick our lips, they can look dry at times. A chemical exfoliant can help to further remove dead skin cells and add hydration.
  • Are your lips really dry? Talk to your doctor about taking vitamins. Sometimes a lack of Vitamin B can cause dry lips.
  • Avoid licking your lips! We often do this without noticing, but try to become more self-aware of this habit. It creates unnecessary topical dryness.
  • Drink plenty of water. We know it helps keep our bodies hydrated, but it does the same for your skin.
  • Floss! The perfect way to draw attention to gorgeous lips is through a healthy smile.
  • Find a lip product you LOVE, and keep it with you at all times. Avoid chapsticks with ingredients like Mineral Oil and Lanolin...they can cause breakouts around the mouth.
