If you think your skin needs protection and moisturizing, so do your lips!

Our lips have a thin outer layer which contains less melanin and lack of oil glands, therefore, prone to dryness. Insufficient collagen also contributes to the loss of moisture or drying of the lips. Without protection, our lips can be easily damaged due to exposure to harmful rays of the sun. It’s really scary that dermatologists are seeing an increase in lip cancer these days. If we do not do more to protect our lips, we might end up having lip cancer.

Putting on a lipstick to redden our lips is not enough. It should be perfectly healthy beneath those lipsticks. This brings a whole new dimension to lipcare. Lipcare products like lip creams with alpha hydroxyl acids that are used to exfoliate dead skin, and products to even out wrinkles above the lip line are essential in caring for our lips.

Lipcare Collagen products claim that they stimulate collagen development. If that is the case, through the use of collagen products our lips can be hydrated, looking moisturized. There are many lipcare collagen enriched products that are available; from collagen and vitamins enriched lip moisturizers to collagen enriched lipstick. All of these lipcare products may help replenish the loss of moisture and other lips damages which the lack of collagen supply in our body caused.

Here are some helpful tips on how to care for our lips.

First, start out by exfoliating them. Once done brushing our teeth, brush the lips for a minimum of 5 seconds. This slightly plumps our lips and reddens it a little. The next time we buy a new lipstick, we should choose the same color with our lips. And then, moisturize our lips with lipcare collagen enriched lip moisturizer. It’s as simple as that.

Ideally, moisturizers can be applied just before bedtime. Lip care doesn’t have to be complicated and time consuming. Just make sure to exfoliate, moisturise, plump, and protect.

We can be sure to have kissable lips!
