The delicate skin of the lips is prone to getting easily damaged by external environmental factors such as the wind, extreme heat, dust and pollution. Even something as simple and common as biting and licking the lips constantly can lead to dry, cracked lips and fine lines in no time. And when this happens, the dryness sensation can be really uncomfortable, not to mention that no makeup looks good on chapped lips.
To keep the lips in good condition whatever the season might be, lip care products are recommended. The lip balm is our first go-to solution. However, in many cases, there are other, much better-suited options such as lip polish, lip mask and lip treatments, which may require you to leave them on your lips overnight.
The lip polish or lip scrub can help you get rid of dead skin cells at the level of the lips and gently exfoliate the lips to prepare them for lipstick or a lip balm. The lip mask is ideal during the colder months of the year to increase the level of hydration. Other types of lip treatments can be great to heal cracked lips.
