Lip care - "not just lip service"

Read my lips...nothing is more of a turn off than dry chapped lips and taking care of your lips is a key to avoid the uncomfortable condition. The obvious coice is lip balm or lip conditioner to keep those lips kissable, however knowing what the root cause of chapped lips can often alleviate the severity and occurrences of chapped lips. Since the lips do not produce oils and waxes due to the absence of sebaceous glands, the climate and external influences have the most impact on the condtions of your lips.

    

The retention of the natural moisture is a method of prevention and the ingredient most balms or conditioners is beeswax which serves to seal in the natural moisture of the lips where they belong. This key natural ingredient accompanied by SPF protection would be considered the two most important components of any daily regiment. Considering the sun can not only burn your lips causing lines, and wrinkles, it's the fact the skin on your lips are more sensitive than most other areas of your body so taking care not to neglect them is imperative to keeping that smile on your face.

Once you've figured out how to maintain the natural moisture of your lips the next step is to make those lips appear fuller and add some color depending on the occassion. Remember when your parents told you to stay inside the lines when you were a child coloring in pictures of your favourite cartoon characters? When it comes to your lips that advice can be ignored. What you want to make sure of is that you don't end up going over board and find yourself looking like a circus performer...everything in moderation.
