Per winter lip care

The happier season is just around the corner. Everyone is eager for winters and can't wait for it to get cold again. The season where dry, chapped lips seem almost inevitable.
The skin on our lips is much thinner than the skin covering the rest of our body. Oil-glands and melanin producing cells are also sparse, which means our little lady lumps have virtually no protection of their own. This is why our lips are a lot more susceptible to drying out and cracking. We all know that no lipstick - not even the holy grail of all lipsticks - can mask the horrors of shrivelled-up winter lips. So if chapping, splitting, lipstick bleeding and cold sores sounds truly terrifying to you.
Eat your fruits and vegetables    
The condition of your lips can reflect directly on your nutritional intake. Vitamins, minerals and all that good stuff are responsible for the constant restoration of new skin cells. Recovery from the likes of sun damage and dryness will be faster, which ultimately reduces the time spent hiding cracked lips behind hovering hands. Boost your daily Vitamin A and Vitamin C intake and your lips will love you for it!
Stay hydrated
Putting your best lips forward starts from the inside out! By now we should all be very aware that drinking water has a tonne of benefits for us living organisms. But, did you know that when skin is well hydrated, it becomes plumper, and more elastic. This means your lips will be more resistant to dehydrating and cracking. So drink H?O.
Remove makeup before you sleep
Removing all traces of makeup before you go to bed is essential for the restoration of your skin cells. Excess lip product will reduce your skin cells' ability to respire, causing further dehydration to occur. So be sure to wash your face and lips thoroughly before you sleep, because we all know the horrors of not removing your makeup after a big night out�
Keep your lips moisturised overnight
Although us humans can sleep-talk and sleep-walk, unfortunately we have not yet evolved the ability to reapply lip balm several times throughout the night while we sleep. So, before you tuck yourself into bed, apply lip balm to moisturise and protect your mouth while you dream about Kylie Jenner's pout all night long.
Massage your lips
When has a massage ever sounded like a bad idea? Massaging your lips stimulates blood circulation, causing your lips to swell lightly and appear fuller. The improved blood circulation also promotes cell repair, leaving your lips healthy and happy. Using a natural oil (i.e. coconut oil) to massage your lips will moisturise them at the same time. Note to self: repeatedly kissing a hash brown will not suffice.
Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate
Exfoliating your lips removes dead skin cells and exposes new, fresh layers of tissue. This creates a soft, smooth surface for your lipsticks and lip glosses to adhere. Continue reading for three deliciously vegan DIY lip scrubs that you can use!
Wear lipstick or lipgloss
Some lipsticks (cough, non-organic lipsticks, cough) are filled with ingredients that are drying to your delicate lips. However, if you moisturise and exfoliate your lips regularly, then wearing lipstick is very beneficial. Lipstick can act as a protective barrier to your lips, shielding them from the sun, dry air, dirt and other environmental factors. So don't be afraid to chuck on some red lipstick and make the boys cry.
Use natural, mineral products
With lipsticks going on and into our mouths each day, it makes it even more important to choose natural, non-toxic lip products. Many ingredients that are found in 'mainstream' lip products (i.e. alcohol) are actually very drying and damaging to the delicate skin on your lips. At Sugar Venom Eco Cosmetica we pride ourselves on using only natural, non-toxic ingredients that keep you and your lips healthy from the inside out.
Lip Scrubs
Combine all ingredients and softly massage the mixture into your skin. Use once a week only. Do not over-exfoliate as this can cause irritation and damage to your delicate lips.
