Autumn Lip Care
For many of us autumn is a wonderful time of year… The air is crisp and smells delicious, the fashions are new and interesting, and your friends are back from holidays ready for fun. But it’s also the season your lips don’t always agree with because of the cool, dry air (unfortunately rain doesn’t necessarily help!). 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 autumn through to the end of 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… So instead try to keep your favourite balm handy.
Use a good lip balm.
Pure and simple, all of NIVEA’s lip balms will moisturise your lips keeping them looking and feeling beautiful and kissable. For long-lasting moisturisation without the waxy texture, try ESSENTIAL CARE or HYDRO CARE Both of these formulas contain the natural ingredients shea butter and jojoba oil. ESSENTIAL CARE is rich and pampering while HYDRO CARE is light-weight and melts into the lips.
Drink lots of water.
As silly as it may sound, your skin and lips require hydration more in the cooler weather of autumn and winter than the warmer temps of spring and summer. Make sure you drink lots of water and try to limit your alcohol intake since it is so dehydrating.
Brush your lips.
Just like you exfoliate your face and body, gently brushing your lips can help. To repair badly chapped lips try an old brush dipped in a menthol based crème.
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 to the preventative properties of SUN with SPF 30+.
