5 Tips to Keep Lips Soft and Supple

1. Exfoliate – Dry skin can cause lips to look, well, dry and wrinkly. My favorite lip scrub is pure, raw, crystalized honey. As you massage the honey into your skin, the crystals help to exfoliate before they slowly melt into your lips.  You can also try a lip sugar scrub, but it’s a little bit harsh for sensitive lips. You could also use a soft wash cloth or towel to scrub and gently exfoliate lips.

2. Moisturize – After exfoliating your lips, you’ll want to apply a lip balm with beeswax and honey to keep lips moisturized. Beeswax is amazing for a couple of reasons. First, it seals in moisture without being occlusive. This means that it will lock in moisture without plugging your skin up. Second, beeswax and honey are natural humectants, meaning they pull moisture from the air to your lips.

3. Use Peptides – Peptides are little strings of amino acids, smaller than a protein, that can be absorbed into your skin. They act as messengers in your body, helping processes such as collagen building to speed up. Our Fat Honey Lip Plumper combines raw honey, beeswax, hyaluronic acid and peptides to moisturize and plump lips. It uses a naturally derived, clinically tested peptide called Adifyline®, which promotes fat cell expression for plumper lips.

4.Enhance your natural color – Add a sheer, nourishing lip tint, like our Lip Chromatics with Elderberry and Alkanet Root. This naturally colored tint is a sheer berry color that compliments all skin tones and makes teeth look brilliantly white.

5. Add Shine – A simple way to make lips appear luscious and full is to apply a gloss to the center and cupid’s bow of your lips. This focuses attention on the center of your lips, making your pout appear plumper. Our Sparkle + Shine Beeswax Lip Gloss is full of moisturizing honey, beeswax, and essential oils, with just enough color to enhance your natural shade. This all natural lip gloss is SUPER moisturizing (and sweet!). It’s deeply absorbed into your skin to nourish your lips, so you may find that you need to apply it more often than some of your other lip glosses.
