Lip care: do you need it?

I hope everyone is already accustomed to properly caring for the skin on their face and body, but we often simply ignore our sponges. But in vain.

The skin on the lips is very similar to thin skin around the eyes. At the same time, it is even more susceptible to negative environmental factors. Therefore, by the age of 30-40, we will regretfully be able to observe small wrinkles around our own lips, a colorless tint on the lips themselves, an uneven surface, and peeling. And also feel itching, dryness, tightness and even burning.

To prevent these unpleasant phenomena, we recommend starting to use the right lip care products as early as possible. Its composition may include castor oil, olive oil, sea buckthorn, peppermint, cinnamon, jojoba, lavender, auxiliary nutritional and protective components. It is not necessarily expensive, it is not necessarily pigmented, it is not necessarily demanding on storage conditions, which means it is suitable even for 15-year-old girls. And these are the means we have in mind.

The skin on the lips lacks pigment that would protect it from ultraviolet radiation. There are also no sebaceous glands on the lips, which ensure moisture retention, but there are many nerve endings, as a result of which the lips become very sensitive to the effects of negative factors.

Olive oil - quickly relieves peeling and heals wounds

Almond oil - ideal for chapping

Wheat germ oil is a real panacea for cracks and wounds.

Jojoba oil is a liquid wax rich in amino acids similar to collagen. Jojoba ensures the safety of the product and is an excellent antioxidant. Jojoba oil is a storehouse of vitamin E.

Castor oil – softens and perfectly nourishes the skin. Castor oil is well absorbed and applied evenly. It is castor oil that does not dry out, but also does not form an unpleasant film on the lips.

Peach – enriched with fatty acids, rejuvenates and nourishes the skin. Peach pits can be used to scrub your lips.

These are base oils to which essential oils can be added. They are inexpensive, almost everyone has them on hand, so we consider them to be our main assistants in the fight for juicy lips. Along with these, you can use base lip oil made from sea buckthorn, avocado, and grape seeds.

Don't forget that when using essential oil for lip care, its amount should be minimal - a drop per teaspoon of base (olive, peach, almond, wheat germ).

Essential oils of lavender, lemon and others should never be used in their pure form. It’s better to prepare a balm or caring mixture from them. But the basic ones - almond, jojoba, olive - can be applied without fear.

How to choose oil

The skin of the lips is extremely sensitive and receptive. Therefore, oil (whether castor, jojoba, peppermint, olive, peach, lavender or any other) must have a number of properties to care for it:

It must be 100% natural.

The oil should be well absorbed into the skin. Otherwise, it will simply freeze in the cold. And in the summer it will float, causing discomfort. If the oil is well absorbed, then it does a good job of moisturizing and nourishing. This property can be tested on the wrist. These include: castor, jojoba, peppermint, lavender, peach. That is, those that are ideal for our purposes. In general, if the skin is very dry, it absorbs almost any oil.

It is better to choose a lip oil to solve a specific problem: if the skin is dry and flaky, use moisturizers; if cracks and wounds appear, use regenerating and antiseptic (in this case best choice– lavender).

The purchased product should be easy to apply and have a dispenser or brush. Avoid applying lip oil with your fingers.

Try the oil, feel the aroma and consistency. You should not experience the slightest discomfort.

You can create your own natural, high-quality and very effective lip balm based on oils and your favorite care products. We are pleased to share our exclusive recipe.

DIY chocolate lip balm

Both men and children face this problem, but most often women. Often the reason for this is the use of long-lasting cosmetics. But from today you can forget about the problem of dry and flaky lips. This product is especially suitable in the cold season, but can also protect from the scorching rays of the sun.

Prepare 2 lipstick bottles, a steam bath, and the necessary ingredients:

On water bath you need to place a container with beeswax. When it starts to melt, add cocoa butter and chocolate. When the solid ingredients combine, add the oils:

First, we combine castor, olive (or jojoba) and grape. Then mix all the ingredients thoroughly and remove from the steam bath. We wait 10 minutes until the mass cools to a temperature of 40 degrees. After this, add 6 drops of orange oil to our product. Stir everything again and quickly pour it into lipstick containers. As a rule, 2 bottles will be enough. Without closing the bottle, put the product in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

This balm can be stored in the refrigerator for about a year, and in a cosmetic bag for 2 months. The balm turns out to be quite dense. If you are used to using liquid lipsticks, you can reduce the amount of wax by half and use a brush when applying. Also, instead of a whole spoon, you can use 0.5 spoons of castor oil.

The balm literally immediately relieves the feeling of tightness and burning, perfectly nourishes and relaxes the skin on the lips, making it elastic. We guarantee that with regular use you will forget about peeling and cracking in frosty, windy weather or during the unbearable heat of the summer.

Do not forget to properly and promptly care for the skin on your lips and around your lips. We will share with you everything else you need to know in the following articles.
