scrub away...
Just like every other part of your body, your lips need just as much care and exfoliation as anything else. However, we tend to neglect and forget this part.

Before you can enjoy beautifully smooth lips, and that perfect kiss, creating a little exfoliating 'mask' for your lips will not only revitalise the skin but also remove all the dead skin cells that hang on our lips day to day. 

Finding a lip scrub can be quite simple as it is a great product and can be found in most beauty/body stores, with great flavours and smells. However, if you're still unsure on where and what to look for, why not make your own? It's simple, quick and a great solution that merely requires the products in your home. Give this DIY video guide a look for an idea on how to make your own lip scrub.

Did you know, that unlike other parts of the body, the lips don't have the ability to produce natural oils? Hence why we end up with cracked lips, especially in cold or dry weather. Licking your lips actually makes it worse, so staying hydrated and not peeling or aggravating your lips is the best way to start healing them.

Therefore it's important you take good care of them. Especially as you need a good pair to have that perfect kiss!

Various natural remedies that you can use to apply straight on your lips in the early morning or before you go to sleep include cucumber, honey, oil, butter, milk, rose petals and sugar.  On the right is a video guide on how to help you condition those lips.

lip balm & lip stick...
For all you men out there, having bright, healthy and glossy lips is always a plus. A little lip balm will give you just the right amount of enhancement to help your crush notice your luscious lips even more.

As for the ladies, once you're all lip-tastic and smooth, you can start 'decorating'. A bright bold red lip can always attract attention to the possibility of a kiss, while a lip gloss can be more subtle yet still endearing.

However, why not have the beauty of a lipstick with the benefits of a lip balm? A lot of beauty brands nowadays create lip balm lipsticks which offer the moisturise of Vaseline while giving you a tint of colour. But there is also a way to make one yourself. If you can't find a tinted lip balm or just want a specific colour, take a look at the video guide to the left on how to create your very own.
