Six "Sexy Lips" Tips

Full, soft, inviting lips. Want them? We all do, and now we
all can have them. Here's the kiss and tell on luscious
lips.



#1 Hands off. Let's start simple, with a line you may have
heard in your youth. Mom always told you and so will we -
stop biting and licking your lips. It smears your color and
irritates your lips. Keep utensils and pens away from your
lips. It'll keep your pucker pretty and keep lipstick off
your teeth.

#2 Hydrate yourself inside and out. Water, water, everywhere.
Be sure to drink your share. You know you need to drink at
least eight glasses of water a day. Here's another reason to
do it. Water is vital to tissue health.

#3 Protect your lips from wind and sun damage. Always wear
lip balm with a SPF of 15 or higher. Always. And, don't
forget your lip balm. It moisturizes your lips and serves
as a base for your lip color. Wear it in place of lip color
on no make-up days. Worn under your lipstick, it'll even
help extend the life of your color.

#4 Lip liner can be a lifesaver. Lip liner serves two main purposes. It solves size and shape problems. It reins in
your color. Thin lips? Following the lip line, outline your
natural lip shape slightly beyond the edge of your lip.
Thick lips? Lucky you. If you think they're too thick
(is there really such a thing?), try the opposite.
Following your lip line, outline your natural lip shape
just inside the edge of your lip.

Lining your lips helps keep your lip color from seeping out
to the skin around your mouth. So, if your lipstick seems
to migrate, then lip liner can keep it in place. One
caveat to using lip liner: Your lip liner should not
actually be visible once your lipstick is applied. So,
choose your lip liner carefully. If the world sees an
outline around your mouth, you're using the wrong liner.

#5 Lip color sends a message. The color you choose says
something about how you view yourself and how you want
others to view you. What does your favorite lip color say?

Pale pink: pretty and sweet.

Red: chic or daring.

Coral: fiery and adventurous.

Brown tones: classic and timeless.


In fact, browns are a universally great choice. Every mouth
can wear brown.

#6 Get glossy. Lip gloss is not just for teens. A little
gloss worn on low-key days brightens up your face. Lip
gloss applied over your daytime makeup transforms you into
a party girl. Lip gloss dotted just in the center of your
lips creates a pouty look.

Your lips are ready... are you? You've pampered, primed,
lined and colored yourself all the way to a perfect pair
of lips. So pucker up ...

Aging In Lips

I didn't group lip aging as one of the common lip problems as it is subtle and forms a part of total aging in our body, be it prematurely or naturally. Premature aging in lips are often overlooked despite the fact that lips age in a faster pace than any parts of the skin.

Look at the appearance of lips, how thin and vulnerable they are! Once they are exposed to sunlight, stress, foods contributing to free radical formation, nicotine and other oxidizing agent besides genetic factor, collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid and other natural substances found in lip skin tend to diminish.

As a result, lip lines and wrinkles are formed, the Cupid's Bow begins to flatten out, the mouth looked frown, lip gets thinner or losing its volume and the once young and vibrant full lips would end up in our memory lane.

While certain causes of lip aging are unavoidable, we could do something to prevent the preventables and rejuvenate the lips with scientifically proved approaches or even have a cosmetic makeover on the aged lips.

To prevent lip aging:

Avoid sunbathing and wear lip balm or lipsticks with sunscreen under the sun.

Don't get yourself overworked and have not less than 6 hours sleep.

Go to bed before 11pm if possible.

Do not use oxidant rich or expired lipsticks and other lip products

Avoid fried, overcooked and canned foods.

Take anti-aging supplements or herbal preparantions.

Cut down coffee and tea.

Stop smoking.


To rejuvenate your lips:

Apply topical lip treatments rich in anti-oxidants such as Vitamin A, C, E and selenium.

Use rejuvenating home remedies such as honey and olive oil as lip nourishment.

Have regular lip exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and promote growth of new cells.

Regular lip mask, ya, lip skin needs nourishment to stay young!


To reform your lips:

Try professional lip wrinkles treatment such as Botox, chemical peel, laser resurfacing etc.

Lips Care

We tend to focus on improving our skin condition and complexion by using proper skin care products and follow our daily skin care regime. And yet, we never seems to care so much about our lip, neck and other parts of our body.

Talking about the lip area, the delicate area where lipsticks are applied onto it quite often or even daily to enhance your beauty. Some of you have a thick lip, some will have thin lip. The lip area is so delicate and sensitive that, the appearance of vertical lines and dull texture around the lip and in the lip area, are signs of aging without proper care. As you age, your lip becomes hyper sensitive and prone to dryness, lip crack, chapped and flaky, which may cause pain and discomfort when talking or eating.

Several factors which causes lip dryness, lip crack, lip chapped, lip peeling or irritation include changes of season, climate and weather, using the wrong types of lipsticks or lip liner, insufficient moisturizing, food allergies, poor circulation result in dull appearance, and environment pollution.

Use a moisturizing lip balm to repair your delicate lip area from time to time. If you have to use a lipstick, try to use a moisturizing lip stick, and add a thin layer of lip balm formulated with sun protection properties.

There are many types of lip balm which you can choose to protect your lips according to your lip condition – from a cream type for very dry and severe condition, moisturizing gel type for daily use, 2-in-1 lipstick and balm formula which is very convenient, to an easy to carry stick type. If you run out of a lip balm during emergency, quickly pick a natural based face moisturizer, apply a thin layer on your lip gently for temporary use. Or another way is,if you take vitamin E at home, break one vitamin E capsule and massage onto your lip, then leave it overnight.

A soothing lip balm contains gentle and mild ingredient, suitable for everyone of all ages, including children who suffer from sensitive lip problems such as chapped, flaky lips. However, as for very young children and babies, it is advisable to use a petroleum jelly to soothe and repair chapped and flaky lip, avoid using lip balms which are recommended for adults unless it is stated.

In order to slow down lip aging, try a simple solution to soften and visibly reduce the appearance of vertical lip lines and lip dehydration. You may do it at the same time with your DIY facial and eye treatment or on its own. Let us call this a DIY lip treatment.

Just remember, once a weekly only – cleanse, exfoliate, repair and moisturize your lip to feel the difference and delay lip aging. You will look great.
