Heading into Winter....time to care for your lips

Alright ladies....we are heading into fall and right around the corner is winter. I'm going to let you in on a little secret, no one likes dry, cracked lips. No. One. So, how do we take care of our lips to make sure that we can continue to rock our popping hot lipsticks???

1. Use coconut oil. Put a little on each morning and night after your shower and before bed. Coconut oil has amazing healing powers!

2. Exfoliate!!! If they are dry, exfoliate them! Dry cracked lips can have an adverse affects on your lipstick, causing it to look caked on. No one wants that! Use a soft toothbrush or a warm washcloth and GENTLY scrub your lips. Once you are done use some coconut oil and wait 30 minutes before applying any product. Or check out a good lip scrub like the Brown Sugar Lip Exfoliater from Pink Papaya (http://www.pinkpapayaparty.com/PAMPEREDMOMX3/shop/PRODUCTDETAIL.aspx?prod=BROWNSUGLIPEXFO)

3. Watch your caffeine intake! Dry, chapped lips can be a sign of dehydration!

4. Use natural lip products. For chapstick I love Burt's Bees and for lipstick I use Tyra (check out her Oh Hell No list).

5. Make sure your lip balm has SPF in it!

6. If your lips become cracked and start bleeding, you need to take some emergency measures. Hot and cold compresses (using a washcloth) and lather them up with coconut oil!

7. Stay hydrated! Make sure your diet includes plenty of fluids. Eat fruits, leafy greens and green vegetables, and root veggies too, which are all full of water.  This is the best way to ensure your lips stay soft and moist!

Make sure you check out the amazing lipsticks by Tyra! I am in LOVE with What Lipstick Ask For A Raise! Amazing all day color! And right now, Suede and Juicy is still on sale....but only while supplies last. New products launching this Friday ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
