Is it really a fun fact if I said I collected lip glosses as a kid or was that every girl?
And does it actually count as collecting if you were using instead of saving them? No? Okay! Before matte red lipsticks, lip balms were all the rage for me, and whenever I look at my Sephora cart at checkout I realize this obsession isn’t dying anytime soon.
Here are my top tips for smooth soft lips…
For smooth soft lips, my skincare routine makes room for a lip scrub, lip primer, and a sleeping lip mask at night. During the day, I like to apply something infused with sunscreen. Aquaphor makes a pretty affordable option (I like to keep this in my car). Fresh has a tinted sunscreen lip balm that gives you a rosy tint while protecting your lips from sun damage. If you want super soft and conditioned lips without the glossy feel get this honey and shea butter infused one from Nuxe, and thank me later! Don’t feel like buying a lip scrub, you can always make one at home with coconut oil and sugar. Want something even more inexpensive? Just grab a soft face towel and gently rub off all the dead skin on your lips.
Last but not least, drink water! Nothing gets you truly hydrated like hydrating from the inside. Oh, and avoid drinking from straws! They can cause wrinkles to your lips and annoy the planet.
