πŸ’‹ Lush lip care! πŸ’‹

As we all know, winter is tough on the skin. I'm going to be doing a care series on how to properly hydrate those certain areas that are mainly effected.

Starting with my personal enemy. The lips. Now I'm not your average person when it comes to the lips. I have chapped lips basically every second week, all year round! It can be so annoying especially when you want to wear a lipstick that can be drying and that's a recipe for disaster but, if you read this post, you'll avoid chapped lips as much as possible :)

Step 1. Purchase a lip scrub (you can make your own but it's messy and I have to be in the mood for mess!) This is Santa's Lip scrub and it's cola flavoured!  


Step 2. Stop eating the lip scrub. I know it's hard but it's got a better purpose, I assure you! Rub it over your lips, lick off left over sugar. I like to do this twice because you get off more dead skin :)


Step 3. Apply your favourite lip balm. I am loving this multipurpose balm from Lush called Ultrabalm. You can use it on any dry skin such as your lips, elbows, knees, also use it to tame stray hairs on your head or even your eyebrows! I really love ultrabalm, it softens my lips straight away. When I did these steps, my lips were back to normal the next day!
Remember not to use too much lip balm because your lips can get used to it and then it won't work when you need it too!

Lip tips:
1. Don't lick your lips! Even if they're dry and you think it's adding moisture, it really isn't!
2. Apply a lip balm before you go to bed and sparingly throughout the day if needed.
3. Try to get natural lip balms and unscented ones because you'll just end up licking it off and the circle repeats itself. 
4. If your lips are really chapped, try not to pull the skin off and make them bleed, just wait till you can use your scrub.

Product list and prices:
Lush - Santa Lip Scrub - €7.50(approx) Vegetarian and Cruelty free!
Lush - Ultrabalm  €11.50 (approx) Vegan and Cruelty free!

Hope you guys have enjoyed this post, keep your lips chapped free this holiday season as the mistletoe is fast approaching! Have a great day :)
