How Can You Get Moisturised, Smooth Lips In The Summer?

  • Post author:

While we tend to take care of our skin religiously during the summer, we often fail to give the same amount of care to our lips. Taking care of your lips during the summer can give you that perfect pink pout, so make sure you follow these tips! 

Start By Moisturising

How Can You Get Moisturised, Smooth Lips In The Summer?

Summer can strip your skin of its moisture, causing it to flake or chap. The best way to ensure that your skin and lips are moisturised is to keep drinking water. You can also use lip balms with hydrating elements such as shea butter for soft, supple lips.

You can choose the right lip balm depending on its purpose. For example, if you’re only looking to moisturise your lips, choose a plain lip balm or even petroleum jelly works. However, if you’re planning on stepping out, it might be better to go for a tinted lip balm such as Maybelline’s Baby Lips.

If you’re at home and want to go for a more natural option, you can massage your lips with coconut oil, butter or ghee for a boost of hydration and improve circulation. 

Exfoliate To Keep Lips Smooth

Exfoliating can remove the rough and dry top layer of skin on your lips, revealing smoother skin underneath. However, it’s important to use a mild scrub so that you don’t over-exfoliate and harm your lips. If you’re doing this at home, you can mix honey with sugar and use it as an exfoliating and moisturising scrub. Another commonly available ingredient at home you can use is rock salt, which works just as well to exfoliate your lips.

Protect Your Lips From The Sun

The skin on your lips is much more sensitive than the rest of your skin, so it’s important that you protect it just as much (if not more) as your skin. Just like you use a lotion/cream with SPF, it’s important to use a lip balm with SPF too. Apart from keeping your lips moisturised, it will protect you from harmful UV rays. Reapply lip balm every two hours or as required.

You can also protect your lips by applying lipstick. Since lipsticks add a layer to your lips once you apply them, they can protect you from UV rays as well as dust and dirt. However, since some lipsticks might be drying, apply a coat of lip balm before you apply the lipstick.

Choose Your Makeup Carefully

Matte lipsticks might dry your lips, so avoid them during the summer. Instead, go for glossy or creamy lipsticks that will moisturise your skin. It might also be wise to look out for products with moisturising ingredients such as Vitamin E or glycerin so that your lips don’t dry out.

Follow these tips to get healthy, soft lips and avoid practices that might harm them, like licking or wetting your lips. While this might provide temporary relief, the enzymes in your saliva can actually dry out your lips.
