IDENTIFYING DRY LIPS:
Dry lips can be caused by a variety of factors, including dehydration, harsh weather conditions, or simply genetics. If your lips often feel tight, rough, or flaky, chances are you're dealing with dryness. Another telltale sign is when lipstick tends to settle into fine lines and accentuate dry patches, rather than gliding on smoothly.
To combat this, prep your lips before applying any lipsticks. Check out our previous blog ESSENTIAL CARE TIPS FOR HEALTHY LIPS for our tips and tricks.
LIPSTICKS TO AVOID:
When you have dry lips, certain types of lipsticks can worsen the problem. MATTE lipsticks, in particular, tend to be drying because they lack moisture and can cling to dry patches. Additionally, long-wearing formulas often contain alcohol, which can further dehydrate the lips. It's best to steer clear of these types of lipsticks if you're struggling with dryness.
Now, let's explore some options that are specifically formulated to provide hydration and nourishment for dry lips!
