Lips Can Also Age, Here Are the Signs

Dream - The skin of the lips, like other areas of the body, undergoes aging over time. The signs of aging on the lips are different from other areas of the skin.

Dermatologist, Arthur Simon, revealed that the lips will become thinner, fine lines will appear around them, and their color will fade with aging.

All three of these things happen due to a decrease in collagen, fat, and muscles in the lips and the surrounding area, making your lips appear thinner.

The blood vessels around the lips will become dull, so the color of your lips will not appear fresh. You can prevent signs of aging on your lips by using lip balm that contains SPF and avoiding sun exposure.

Use lip balm that contains SPF repeatedly to ensure that your lips are protected from sun exposure and prevent signs of aging and dry lips.

Make sure the lip balm you use is suitable for your lip skin so that its use is more effective.

Do This If Your Lips Are Dry and Chapped After Applying Lipstick

Dream - Wearing lipstick doesn't always make your facial appearance look attractive. If your lips are dry and chapped, applying lipstick will be messy.

In fact, the lipstick you wear will make your lip skin peel and worsen your appearance. But, it's actually not difficult to overcome this.

You also don't need to use a lip scrub if you want to solve it quickly. Here are tips from Makeup Artist (MUA) @ymliamakeupartist to overcome chapped lips when applying lipstick.

Apply a generous amount of lip balm or lip mask to the entire lips and leave it on for 1 minute.

Then, take a special wet facial cotton or tissue. Drop 4-5 drops of serum or essence onto the cotton. Press the cotton to ensure the product is absorbed.

After that, rub the lips using the cotton that has been dripped with serum or essence. Usually, dead skin on the lips will be lifted along with the lip balm.

Pat the surface of the lips that are clean from lip balm with a cushion puff. Use the remaining product on the puff to facilitate the application of lipstick. Then, apply your favorite lip product.
