How to Get Luscious Lips

February 24, 2015

red lips

Dry, cracked lips are never a good look, and it’s an uncomfortable predicament. They hurt and bleed and spoil the fun of the bold lipstick colors you love. So how can you prevent or treat them?

Your lips only have a thin layer of skin to serve as a barrier. There are no oil or sweat glands to react to any dryness they feel. So all the salty snacks, carbonated drinks and weather elements directly impact the integrity of your lips’ anatomy. Speaking of salty snacks and soda, your diet can compromise your lips’ appearance. Acidic foods can absorb all the moisture that otherwise would help plump your lips. Drinking the recommended amount of water and maintaining a diet rich in vitamins and high water content helps balance out the acidic foods you consume.

If you’re currently experiencing chapped lips, try exfoliating and applying a rich balm right before bed. This, along with drinking water and eating a vitamin-rich diet, will help you have soft, healthy and luscious lips throughout the season.

If you have any questions about your lips or 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.
