Autumn Lip Care
To many people, autumn is the best season. The air is crisp and smells delicious, the fashions are new and interesting, and your friends are back from vacations ready for fun. But it’s also the season your lips don’t always agree with because of the cool, dry air, especially after adapting to a summer with lots of moisture. Dry, chapped lips are painful, unattractive and can put a serious damper on your season. Here are some tips to keep your lips looking and feeling great from the fall all the way through the winter:
Don’t lick your lips.
Your saliva only temporarily gives moisture to your lips, but quickly dries out and leaves them more sensitive than before.
Use good lip balm.
Pure and simple, all of NIVEA’s lip balms moisturize your lips keeping them looking and feeling beautiful and kissable. For long-lasting moisturization without the waxy texture, try A Kiss of Moisture Essential Lip Care or A Kiss of Moisture Hydrating Lip Care . A Kiss of Moisture Essential Lip Care is a rich, pampering formula while A Kiss of Moisture Hydrating Lip Care is a light-weight formula that melts into the lips.
Drink lots of water.
It seems counter-intuitive, but your skin and lips require hydration more in the cooler weather of fall and winter than the warmer temps of spring and summer. Make sure you drink lots of water and limit your alcohol intake, since it is dehydrating.
Brush your lips.
Gently brush your lips with an old brush dipped in a menthol based crème. This can cure bad chapped lips.
Know your lips.
Every pair of lips is different, and yours might require a specific kind of lip balm with benefits that work for you. NIVEA Lip Care has a wide range of products for all lip needs, from the healing properties of A Kiss of Moisture Hydrating Lip Care to the wrinkle prevention of A Kiss of Rejuvenation Q10 Anti-Aging Lip Care .
