Yes! You read that right! Like your skin, your lips need to be exfoliated as well. Damp your lips with warm water and use a toothbrush with soft bristles in the circular motion to gently remove the dead skin cells from your chapped lips. Wash your lips with warm water and pat them dry. They'll be super smooth and rosy pink in less than a minute.
If your toothbrush bristles are a bit harsh on lips then you can also prepare a scrub at home to exfoliate your lips in every 2-3 days. To make that, mix 1 teaspoon of Brown Sugar with 1 teaspoon of honey. Use this mixture to massage your lips for 1-2 minutes and rinse it off with warm water. This will leave your lips very soft.
2. Moisturizing

It's extremely important to moisturize your lips in winters. To prepare an effective leave on lip mask mix 1 teaspoon of Extra Virgin coconut oil with 1 teaspoon of honey. Mix these ingredients well and apply a generous amount of the same on your lips. This step has to be followed right after exfoliation for best results. This mask will make your lips hydrated, fuller and extremely soft.
3. Protection
Not many people talk about this but your lips need protection from the sun too. Though its winters and most of us feel that no sun protection is required during this time, it's a MYTH! You need to have that skin guard on no matter what.Take 1 teaspoon of coconut oil and mix 3-4 drops of JoJoba oil in it. Mix these ingredients well and apply it on your lips whenever you are going out in daylight. This will prevent your lips from drying throughout the day.
Pro Tip: If you don't want to go out with a glossy coconut mixture or prefer a tinted balm that will also help you keep those lips protected then you must give a try to Maybelline Baby Lips. It has SPF 20 in it!
I personally love their Cherry Kiss, it gives that subtle red tint to my lips.
Fam, do follow these simple home remedies to get those soft and pink lips these winters in no time. Make sure you stay hydrated and drink 10-12 glasses of water each day. It all shows on your skin and your lips, of course!
