It is so incredibly important to keep your lips moisturized! I know we all break the “you should never lick your lips when they are dry” rule at some point, because we either don’t have chapped stick handy, or we are lazy. The fact is, licking your lips helps for temporarily relief, but, in reality, it's making them worse.Your lips have a very thin layer of skin, similar to the face, but thinner and more transparent. Because the skin on your lips is so thin, they can easily become chapped in any weather and at any time.
Here are some things that can cause dry lips:
1. Using a matte lipstick, long wearing lip stain or lip paint can dry out your lips
2. Using any kind of lip plumper that contains pepper, mint, mint oils, etc. can cause irritation that can lead to dry, chapped lips.
3. Using anti-acne ointments, lotions, skin care routines that have Accutane as an ingredient have been known to cause dry or chapped lips.
The best way to avoid chapped or dry lips is to keep your lips moisturized. Consider using a chemical-free and petroleum-free balm. One of my favorites is Waxelene (a petroleum free, organic and natural moisturizer). You could also try Maybelline's Baby Lips.
If you enjoy wearing lip stains and matte lipsticks, but often have dry chapped lips, consider tattooing your lips. Permanent Makeup is really for anyone and everyone. You can WAKE UP looking beautiful and natural at the same time... ALL OF THE TIME!
Here are the benefits of tattooing your lips with a blush of color:
1. On a day to day basis, you don’t have to apply lip color, lip sticks, lip stains, etc. that can dry out your lips.
2. You will always have an even lip-shape, lip-line, etc.
3. You can always add lipstick on over the permanent makeup to give your lips a fun or more dramatic color, even though there is no need to do so on a daily basis.
4. As we age, the color in our lips fade, and our lips lose their shape.
5. The tattooing process can stimulate blood flow back into the lips.
6. If you desire a more pouty lip, tattooing even a millimeter outside of your natural lip line/shape can make a BIG difference in your lips and look.
7. If you have a cleft palate/cleft palate surgery scar, cosmetic tattooing can be used to reshape your lips.
