Nothings really worse than going in for a kiss and realizing your pucker is parched. Here is some tips for kissable lips!

• Hydration is key: Be sure to drink lots of water, because lips are a great indicator of dehydration, if they are dry and parched even after wearing lots of lip balm, drink more water! They are also an indicator of anemia, not looking read and rosy? Check you iron intake.
• Aquaphor healing ointment is great for hydrating lips
• Try to find toothpaste without Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), a detergent used in cleansers and toothpaste. It can cause dryness, irritation or even a contact dermatitis.
• To exfoliate lips, i apply a thick layer of honey and use sugar for an exfoliant. Scrub in a circular motion for at least 90 seconds, then rinse. Honey is a natural hydrator, drawing in moisture from the air to hydrate you lips, while sugar gently exfoliates.
• To get the gunk of you lips before wearing lipstick, wet a q-tip with water and dip in baking soda, then run all over lips and rinse to de-gunk.
• Always use a lip-balm with at least SPF 15 at all time when outside.

I hope these tips help! Mwah!
