Bear Bold Lips

September 11, 2014

Fall’s impending cool weather means breaking out the camel, maroon and neutral colors. It  can also be a great time to experiment with lip color. But before you pucker up, make sure your lips are the perfect canvas to display your undying love for the fall palate.

Anatomy and genetics play a big part into your lips’ sensitivity. With only a thin layer of skin as protection and no oil and sweat glands, your lips experience the full brunt of the elements. Things like salty foods, drinks, licking your lips and various environmental elements can cause your lips to crack or become chapped.

Diet plays another factor in the appearance of your lips. Acidic foods that throw off your pH balance can affect lips’ moisture. An easy remedy is to drink at least eight glasses of water a day. Maintaining a diet rich in vitamins A, B and C with high water content helps with your body’s acidic levels long-term.

Your lips need the love and attention you give the rest of your skin, too. Before bed, gently exfoliate your lips and apply a rich balm. You’ll wake each morning with soft, kissable lips – the perfect canvas for those bold autumn hues.

If you have any questions about changes in your skin, please call us today at 865-690-9467. Skin health is an important part of total body wellness. Schedule an appointment with one of our board certified physicians to get your skin the care it needs so it can reach its fullest, healthiest potential.
