How to exfoliate your lips? Make your lips naturally clear

Lipstick is a very common lip skin care product in our daily life. The skin of the lips is very fragile and delicate, so it is very important to protect the lips. Dry and peeling lips are very common, so how to remove dead skin from the lips? Lips become naturally clear.

How to exfoliate your lips

1. At night, you can occasionally move a dry toothbrush gently on your lips, or massage around your lips with your fingers. This can stimulate blood circulation, tighten the mouth contour and prevent muscle relaxation.

2. Hot steam is the best way to deal with the peeling skin on your lips. Applying a steam towel again can clean up the peeling skin and fine wrinkles.

3. Natural moisturizer - honey: Honey has excellent affinity with the skin and is widely used as a natural beauty material. Its natural moisturizing ingredients are very suitable for protecting lips. If your lips feel dry, apply a thin layer of honey on your lips, which is also a good way to care for your lips.

4. Drinking water and taking more vitamins A, B, and C can improve dull lip color. Choose a lipstick with an isolating effect.

5. When removing makeup, use a lip makeup remover. The makeup remover for eye makeup can also remove lip makeup, but the makeup remover for lip makeup cannot remove eye makeup.

6. Apply moisturizing lip mask and lip balm, and gently massage to promote blood circulation.

7. When your lips are dry and peeling, you can use a lip repair cream with repairing function as a base before applying lip makeup. Oily lip balm is more moisturizing, but it is easy to make lipstick smudge, so you should try to avoid using it before applying lipstick. If the dryness is not serious, you can directly use oily lipstick with higher moisturizing properties.

8. The simplest and most economical way to prevent dry and peeling lips is to apply some Vaseline. You can also apply a cotton pad soaked in moisturizing lotion or moisturizing liquid on your lips for 10 minutes to make a convenient homemade lip mask. If you don't use special lip care products, using eye products instead is also a good way to get good results. Because the skin at the corners of the eyes is as soft and sensitive as the corners of the mouth, eye products will also provide moisture and nutrition to the lips without irritation. Gently pat with your fingers and massage while applying.

9. Remove dead skin regularly, preferably once a week, and then apply care products. The loss of moisture in the lips can also cause dark lips and fine lines, so remember to avoid licking your lips.

Can I eat lip balm?

Try not to eat.

The main ingredients of lip balm are vaseline and beeswax, as well as some synthetic animal fats to make the lip balm solid. The specific ingredients and functions are as follows:

Vaseline: More moisturizing but not penetrating, can stay on lips for a long time.

Mint: A spice that has a cooling, anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effect.

Camphor: It has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and wound healing effects.

Lanolin: A very effective emollient. Aloe vera: It has the effects of sun protection, emollient, moisturizing and anti-freckle.

Vitamin E: It can prevent skin roughness, cracking, rashes, wrinkles and acne. Lip balms used in winter are mostly colorless, and the main ingredients are wax and oil. If it is a colored lip balm such as lipstick or lip gloss, it also contains pigments. In general, the ingredients contained in lipstick are very similar to those of some packaged foods, the only difference is the amount of more or less.

We can eat junk food in big mouthfuls, because the main part of food is still edible materials. We must not swallow lipstick in one bite, because it is not food after all, and it will still have adverse effects on the human body. From the ingredients, it can be seen that lip balm is basically made of natural ingredients, and considering the actual use of lipstick, manufacturers will be particularly careful in the selection of raw materials. Among them, beeswax can be used as an additive, and vaseline is also a widely used cosmetic additive. Therefore, as long as you don’t take a lot of lipstick, it will not be harmful to the body. The amount of lipstick you take in by licking your lips is very small. However, nothing is absolute. It is not necessarily that what is used externally cannot be taken internally, and what is applied on the lips may not necessarily taste good. As one of the daily necessities of modern women, lipstick is not harmful, but you should try to avoid small actions such as licking your lips. After all, lipstick is not really for eating.

The correct way to apply lipstick

① First, apply a hot towel to your lips to soften the dead skin on them;

② After applying, gently rub your lips to remove dead skin, but don't rub too hard to avoid cracking your lips;

③Then apply the lipstick evenly along the lip contour;

④If you feel that the lipstick is not moisturizing enough, you can apply the lipstick twice.

Notes on applying lipstick

Lipstick should be personal

Many people may lend their lipstick to close friends or family members. In fact, this is incorrect because there will be personal saliva or some bacteria left on the lips. Rubbing them back and forth will lead to the spread of bacteria, and some infectious diseases can easily spread to yourself. Therefore, lipstick should not be used with others and must be used by individuals only.

Do not use lipstick that has expired.

Many people may only use lipstick in the dry autumn and winter seasons, and leave it unused in spring and summer. When the weather turns cold again, they will use the old lipstick without even looking at it. Some people will find that their lips are peeling, itching, allergic and other symptoms. Because the ingredients in lipstick will inevitably change after the expiration date, not only will it not have the original effect on the lips, but it will also irritate the lip skin. And lipstick is inevitably eaten, and expired lipstick may also cause stomachache and other problems.

Lipstick works better at night

We usually use lipstick during the day, and may not think of applying lipstick before going to bed. In fact, applying lipstick before going to bed will have a better moisturizing effect. Because the skin absorbs better at night, and there is no eating or talking, lipstick can fully play its moisturizing effect. Especially for people with rhinitis and nasal congestion, they often breathe through their mouths at night, so their lips are very dry when they wake up the next day. Applying lipstick before going to bed can improve this condition.

It is best to remove lipstick before meals

Although lipstick is edible, it is fine to eat a little, but because lipstick contains a lot of oil, it will remain oily for a long time when applied on the mouth, and a lot of dust and bacteria will stick to it. When eating, these dirt will be eaten together with the food, so for the sake of your health, it is correct to wipe off the lipstick before eating or eating.

Exfoliate before applying lipstick

If our lips are very dry, there will often be a lot of dead skin on them. If you apply lipstick directly, these dead skin will not be removed and the lipstick will not be applied evenly. So before applying lipstick, you can apply a hot towel to your mouth to soften the dead skin on your lips thoroughly, and then rub it gently with your fingers, and the dead skin will fall off. Be careful not to rub too hard, otherwise it will break your lips.
