Scrub ’em soft
Like the rest of your skin, your lips needs a thorough cleanse every now and then. Exfoliate with a mild, homemade lip scrub. Our favourite is sugar, olive oil and cinnamon. Though the cinnamon might burn just a tad bit it’ll draw the blood up to your lips and leave you with soft lips and a healthy, pink pout.
Moisturise ’em shiny
Who could ever overemphasise the importance of moisturisation? With all the work your lips do, they could do with some serious pampering. We usually rely on our tried and tested petroleum jelly to be the ultimate moisturiser but a night’s rest with a mixture of honey and lavender oil on your lippers could also do you some good.
Wear ’em glossy
We’re not shy to admit that we’ve always relied on a bit of colour to get us by. So when we heard about the new Lakmé Absolute Gloss Addict that was a lipstick and lip gloss combined, we were smitten. With a fantastic one-stroke application (we kid you not!) and the soft creaminess of a lip balm and the 15 shades that the range comes in, our pout is puckering up to this baby long-term.
