| 7 Tips For Luscious Lips |

As women, we spend lots of money on cosmetics. We pay attention to our eyes, cheeks, eyebrows, and hair but what about our lips? Yes, we use lipsticks, lip gloss, and lip balms...but even that isn't enough to keep our lips looking luscious. Continue reading to learn about some tips and tricks to beautiful lips.

Tip #1: Use a lip balm that contains SPF

- Summer is here and so is the sun. UV rays from the sun can be very dangerous to our lips, just as much as it is to our skin. When unprotected lips are exposed to too much sun, collagen can change, causing lips to wrinkle and fine lines to form around the mouth.

Tip #2: Exfoliate your lips weekly

- It is easy! All you need is a toothbrush and Vaseline. Apply a small amount of Vaseline to your lips and begin brushing in a circular motion. Voila!

Tip #3: Make lip scrubs

- Why pay for lip scrubs when you can make them at home? Here are my top three favorite lip scrub recipes: 1. Brown sugar + honey + drop of vanilla 2. Sugar + honey + peppermint oil + olive oil 3. Coconut oil + brown sugar + honey

Tip #4: Stop licking & biting

- Instead of keeping our lips moisturized, our saliva dries them out and removes the natural moisture of our lips. Biting lips can be damaging and it makes them sore.

Tip #5: Hydrate! Hydrate! Hydrate!

- When our lips become chapped, they tend to bleed and crack which causes an increased risk for infection. Drinking water is essential when it comes to treating chapped lips.
