Yes! Removing Lipstick before you sleep is the most effective tip to be followed in monsoon. The chemicals in lipsticks can take out the moisture from your lips overnight, leaving them chapped and dry.

 

2. Scrub them gently

Lips covered in annoying dead skin can be a real pain. To get rid of your patchy lips full of dead cells and dirt, you need to exfoliate your lips. However, the area is subtle and must be handled gently so do not use a harsh scrubber.

Apply a petroleum jelly and brush your lips with a soft bristle toothbrush to give a healthy loop.

 

3. Hydrate them enough

The efforts to make your lips look gorgeous  would be impossible without taking care of them. Drinking enough water helps to hydrate your body and hence your lips. Having drinks that detox is also useful as it makes the lips smooth and soft.

 

4. Massage your lips

This is really easy. All you need to do is to pick your favorite oil, apply it on the lips and go for a gentle massage. Massaging your lips will increase the blood flow to your lips, making them look clearer. Dead cells will also get removed automatically on improving the blood circulation, so a gentle massage is very helpful!

 

5. Keep them moisturized

Moisture can make the perfect, smooth, soft canvas for whatever color you want on your lips. Making use of cucumber or applying brown sugar and water, coconut oil, honey and olive oil intermittently can help to maintain the moisture.

 

6. Boost Your Diet

Having a diet full of antioxidants is important as this reduces the effect of free radicals which can damage the lip cells. Fresh fruits and vegetables should be an integral part of your diet when you want to posses red, luscious and naturally good looking lips.

In addition to lips, its very important to take care of your face and body as well. Make sure you pick one of the best soaps for dry skin, if you have a sensitive and dry skin.
 

 

7. Avoid Smoking

On every puff you take, it sends tar and nicotine to the blood stream within milliseconds. The added toxins in the bloodstream gives a dull look to our lips. So smoking is a strict NO if you want to keep your lips healthy.

 

During the ongoing monsoon, fear not. Enjoy the season!
