some simple, natural ways to keep your lips moist, soft, and lusciously. Since our lips contain no sebaceous glands, they can’t moisturize themselves, and the small amount of saliva that reaches our lips via tongue-tip is often not sufficient to prevent our lips from becoming dehydrated.
here are some helpful tips
SIMPLE SOLUTION: 1. Slick on a bit of cocoa butter for a moisturizing, chocolate-flavored lip treat. It’s colorless and not too shiny.
2. After brushing your teeth, GENTLY brush your lips as well. This will exfoliate and take away chapping, and will also plump up the lips temporarily.
3. Keep hydrated! Be sure to drink lots of water throughout the day.
4. A dab of honey on your lips will act as a humectant, drawing moisture from the air to your skin, keeping your lips soft and moist
5. A dab of vegetable glycerin mixed with vitamin E or wheat germ oil makes an effective, nourishing moisture barrier. (Pure vegetable gycerin is available in natural food centers.)
