It’s the time of year when glossy red lips can enhance your festive spirit. Selecting a rich red lipstick with gloss or applying a glossy overcoat are great ways to quickly add a splash of colour and shine to your usual makeup regimen. Also, cold weather conditions and the persistent sipping of drinks at holiday celebrations tend to dry out the delicate skin on your lips. Try to find a lipstick or lip balm that’s formulated with moisturizers, botanical extracts, natural oils or vitamins. Make sure to re-apply regularly. Use a soft toothbrush to gently remove flakes from dry lips. Apply either a lip balm or lip gloss before going to bed to keep your lips hydrated and softened. Licking your lips actually dries them out and causes more chapping to occur. Drinking plenty of water will help to maintain adequate hydration levels throughout your body, including your lips.
