Pucker up your lips with some easy beauty tips

Have you ever wanted luscious, kissable, soft lips? Of course you do! Lips are one of the most seductive features on the face and often a large focal point as it complements ones speech. As the cold weather starts rolling in, you don't want your lips to feel like dry and rigid sand paper.There are plenty of things you can do from home to really spoof up your lips and prepare them for their next tantalizing kiss.

Keep Lips Moisturized

It's always best to use these moisture treatments before bed, allowing the lips to trap in the moisture and retain it over night.

Vaseline Treatment

1. Wet a face cloth with warm water and place your pointer finger inside the cloth. Slowly rub your lips using your finger inside the warm cloth. This will help to remove any dirt and loose skin.
2. Get out a soft bristle toothbrush and apply Vaseline onto the brush, just as you would toothpaste when you brush your teeth. Rather than brushing your teeth, use the brush to brush over your lips gently. If your lips are extremely dry or chapped, then try my at- home lip exfoliating recipe (shown below) in place of the Vaseline.
3. Right before you go to bed, apply a small amount of Vaseline to your lips and allow it to moisturize as you sleep.
   

Do this every night before bed and within a few days you will have lips as soft as silk. The Mayo Clinic offers ways to naturally prevent chapped lips.

Home-made Lip Exfoliating Recipe

1. Mix together about two tablespoons of olive oil (or honey) to about one tablespoon of sugar. You should be able to mix until you get a paste-like substance. The grains of sugar can help clean the skins surface and unclog pores.
2. Apply the paste to your lips using the toothbrush method and exfoliate into the dry skin.
   

Maintain Moisture

It's good to use a daily protection to prevent cracking and dry damage. You can do this by making an all natural lip gloss that will be both fruity and beautifying.

Organic Lip Gloss to Cure and Protect

1. Combine one teaspoon of all natural aloe vera gel with one teaspoon of petroleum jelly/ Vaseline and mix together.
2. Add three drops of a natural fruit oil of your choice (I like strawberry and cherry) to the mixture and mix together. Now you will have a gloss-like substance.
   
3. Store in a small container and have fun glossing your lips.

From now on no excuses for cracked, peeling lips. My beauty tips should help turn those pink pillows to sweet softness. Now go pucker up!
