4 quick, easy steps will soothe dry irritated lips

Have your lips become dry, chapped or flaky recently? 

Mine too. It's annoying. And sore. Until I remembered my at-home soft lips treatment.
That did the trick.

LIP SOOTHING TREATMENT

• EXFOLIATE

Using a damp Exfolia Cloth gently rub it over your lips and lip line. This will remove the flaky cells and leave it smooth. You can use either the Reusable Exfolia Cloth or Disposable Exfolia Cloth

If you don't have an Exfolia cloth on-hand you can use a damp soft bristle toothbrush. Personally I find the toothbrush method too tingly and irritating for me but it will work in a pinch. Just keep a light touch

(Exfolia Cloths are good for pigmentation too)

• MASK

Applying a hydrating mask for a few minutes will help sooth irritated lips. Pure Aloe Vera is a good choice, so is Full Fat Milk or Heavy Cream. If using milk just take a few drops and massage it in. 

Rinse and follow with your hydrating balm.

(Milk does a body, and dry skin, GOOD)

• HYDRATE

A nourishing lip balm will absorb in nicely at this point. Apply a thin layer, rub it in, then reapply.

My fav is Miracle Lips. It is a holistic skin and lip salve with propolis. Miracle Lips Salve is both nourishing and healing. Great on cracked sensitive lips too.

• PROTECT

Create a barrier and seal in the hydration. Miracle Lips Lip Protectant Spf applies easily, can be tossed in your pocket or purse and may be reapplied as needed through-out the day.

Or use repair dry, chapped lips with natural remedies. Mango Lip balm Spf 30 or Spearmint Lip Balm Spf 15. Both nourish and rehydrate dry lips while protecting it from UV light. 

At night skip the Spf. Reapply Miracle salve, follow with a thin layer of petrolatum. 

'Tis the season of sore, raw, chapped lips.  So be kind to your fellows and share this. Let me know in the comments how this worked for you or just send leave a "hello". 

Have a beautiful day,
