Hello everyone,
Taking care of the lips is actually simple and easy, well we all want they soft, chap free and of course kissable lips. If you wear lip gloss and tinted lip balms a lot you might not really feel the effect of chapped or flaky lips as the balms and glosses tend to cover it up but with lipstick hmm hmm you can't get away with it, especially matte ones.

Before I ever knew what lip routine or care was I always apply Vaseline on my lips allow it to soak in and then rub off gently with a warm damp towel. The key thing to know is exfoliating and moisturising.
Exfoliate, (three ways)1. apply Vaseline on your lips use your toothbrush preferably the ones with soft bristle or baby toothbrush and rub in circular motion. 2. apply lip scrub on lips, rub in circular motion, the longer you rub the more intense you exfoliate(don't scrub too hard) 3. Use a warm damp towel with vaseline like I said previously.
Cleanse and Moisturise, When you have exfoliated your lips now clean with a slightly damp towel and moisturise, apply lip balm or Vaseline to rehydrate your lips. (you might want to continue with the rest of your make up before apply your lip product, so as to allow the lip balm to settle in).Tweet
You can do this in the morning and night or when you feel it's necessary. Check out how to wipe off lip stains and long wear colors here.
I currently switch between Vaseline lip essence, Avon simply pretty lip balm (this lip balm is sooo nice I find it more moisturising than Maybelline baby lips) and sometimes I use Vaseline too.
What is your lip care routine like? Have a fabulous day!

Which lip scrub do you use? My lips are suffering in this heat and applying lip balm isn't enough anymore. Dry lips are not cute.

I didn't realize how much I need to pay attention to my lips until I started wearing lipstick. Now I always prep them before applying ANY lipsticks. I will start to Exfoliate in the future after reading this.
