Soft kissable lips

Colder weather is here and with that also drier skin, especially lips. I don't suffer from extremely chapped lips, but when I get them, I know how to easily fix them.

My "secret" (which is not really a secret) is scrubing off dead skin cells rather than just applying a lip balm over. If you're one of the people who constantly reapply their lip balm, you may stop doing it because you're actually making your lip skin "lazy" and you're slowing down skin's own ability to provide moisture. If your lips get chapped pretty easily, it's probably because you're applying fake moisture too oftenly to your lips.

I've noticed since I started using gentle moisturing lip scrub, I don't even need applying lip balm so many times. I make my own lip scrub out of olive oil or coconut oil and sugar, I keep it in a container until I use it up or I use Everyday naturals Sumotuous lip polish. I don't exfoliate every day, maybe once or twice or three times a week, depends on a season and weather.

Another tip for dry lips instead of using lip balm is using olive oil. You can apply it before bed time and optional in the morning. Let it sit for some time and then add some sugar to exfoliate and get rid of dead skin cells. After that reapply olive oil and you won't probably need any extra moisture during the day :)

Let me know how it goes for you if you try it.

Unusual beauty tips: many uses of a lip balm

One day I came up with an idea, that I could start new blog post series, where I share unusual/weird beauty tips: how can you use one products in many other ways or something similar.

Today I will present you many uses of a lip balm. Let's start :)

1. If you can use your lip balm on your dry lips, you can definitely use them on other dry areas of your body, on your elbows and knees for instance. Apply as a normal cream, recommend before bed time, that's when skin is regenerating and lip balm is very thick, it may bother you during the day. Also, if you have any dry spots on your face, apply it on these areas.

2. You can use it as a under eye cream. Skin around eyes is very delicate, so we have to take extra care of it. Apply it on your under eye area, and tap it a little bit with your ring finger to spread it evenly. Apply it before sleep, let it absorb over night.

3. Prevent wrinkles! Apply it on face areas where you have some wrinkles (or are wrinkles in the making!) before bed. For me, those areas are my forehead and smiling lines. I smiler too much, I guess :D.

4. You can also use it as an eyebrow wax. Apply some lip balm on your finger and go over your eyebrows. Shape them in place, you can even help yourself with a spoolie brush.

Do you know any other uses of a lip balm? Leave them in comment section, would love to hear! :)

Hope this post was helpful to some of you, especially if you're living on a budget or travelling and don't want to take one million products with you :).

Have a lovely day/night :),
