Lip Service: How to CARE for Lips!
Like your complexion, lips require maintenance to look and feel their best. Your mouth is constantly exposed to food, drinks, sunlight, makeup, and often drying oral-hygiene products," says David H. McDaniel, a dermatologist in Virginia Beach, Virginia. "These emements, combined with your mouth's thin skin, lack of oil glands, little to no melanin, plus frequent facial movement, can have an aging effect on the lips over time." Plus it is coldx3 this winter. Here is what you can do.
Skin on lips: To keep lips hydrated apply balm containing a heavy-duty hydrator, such as shea butter, peptides, vanilla, and avocado oil. Reapply often. If your lips get dry and flaky, use a gentle exfoliator a couple of times a week.
Try Arbonne's Sheer Shine in Tutu or Copper and get a free Lip Saver Sunscreen SPF 30 that is filled with chamomile and linden extracts.
Also try Arbonne's Lip Service Dietary Supplement for health lips, a combination of lysine, vitamins, minerals and herbs.

Edges of Lips: Habits like drinking from bottles and pursing our lips can blur lips's edges and etch small vertical lines into the skin above and below them. "As these deepen, lipstick may bleed into the crevices," says McDaniel. Keep your lip color in place by tracing your lips' outline with a concealer pencil befor applying color.

Center of Lips: "After age 40, the lips start to become increasingly thin and flat, expecially in the middle," says Sonia Badreshia-Bansal, a dermatologist in Danville, California. Lip plumping products that contain natural green tea and ginseng extracts. These ingredients can temporarily make lips appear fuller
