Special Skin Care for LipsLips have few sebaceous glands, are sensitive to low humidity and chap and flake easily. Use a conditioning salve on its own or under lipstick to protect them from moisture loss. Choose salves with sunscreens, as herpes simplex (cold sore) blisters are triggered by heat and sunlight. At night, apply Vaseline thickly: it really is the best softening, moisture-sealing agent for dry, rough lips. In the morning, a very light scrub with a damp toothbrush (a Cindy Crawford tip) sloughs off flakes and floods lips with rosy circulation. If you have any pucker lines around the lip contours moisturize them with regular anti-ageing creams. Some experts recommend using eye creams on the lips for their lightweight firming effects. Avoid glossy lipsticks that creep into lines around the lip line, accentuating wrinkling, and choose warm, natural-looking tones, such as rosewood. Lips Care: MINIMIZE FEATHERINGLike the skin around the eyes, the lip zone is also highly vulnerable due to the high-mobility factor. Prime lips with "lipfix" formula to prevent feathering at the edges, and always use a moist-finish rather than glossy lipstick. |
