Simple Lip Care Tips for Soft, Healthy Lips

Your lips go through a lot every day—sun, wind, dryness, and even the habit of licking them! Just like your skin, your lips need a little extra love to stay soft, smooth, and healthy. Here are a few easy ways to care for them:

1.⁠ ⁠Stay Hydrated
Dry lips often start from the inside. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your body—and your lips—hydrated.

2.⁠ ⁠Use a Gentle Lip Scrub
Exfoliate your lips 1–2 times a week with a mild scrub. This helps remove dead skin and keeps them smooth. You can use a store-bought lip scrub or make your own with sugar and honey.

3.⁠ ⁠Moisturize Regularly
Apply a nourishing lip balm multiple times a day, especially after eating or brushing your teeth. 

4.⁠ ⁠Avoid Licking or Picking
It might feel soothing in the moment, but licking your lips actually makes them drier. And picking at dry skin can cause cracks or even bleeding.

5.⁠ ⁠Night-Time Lip Care
Before bed, apply a thick, hydrating lip balm or natural oils like ghee or almond oil. It works overnight to repair and soften.
