You carefully choose your facial cream, your exfoliator, your make-up foundation, even your lipstick; however, you often forget to nurture your lips in the proper way. Trust me, even the highest quality lipstick cannot provide your lips the care they deserve. If you want to bring back the sensuality of your lips, you do not have to go to some extreme lengths. In fact, it is really easy. You will need to transform your kitchen into a laboratory for just fifteen minutes, and as a result, you will have the most nourishing lip-gloss money can buy.
Exfoliation is a must!
The sun and the cold are the lips most fierce nemeses, and their ruthless onslaught can often be perceived in the forms of chapped skin patches that appear on the lips. There is no amount of lipstick that can mask these chapped skin patches, so your number one concern should be the eradication of these unappealing patches from your lips. The essential tools for this chapped skin ghost buster mission are simple: a small amount of honey and a baby toothbrush. You will apply a small amount of honey on your lips, allow the skin to absorb the honey and then just gently go over your lips using the baby toothbrush. Remember, the key is in the moderation. You should not use the toothbrush as a sandpaper.
Natural lip-gloss
If you are not the biggest fan of colored lip-gloss, then you can take a small tin and just mix together a few drops of olive oil, a teaspoon of honey and one teeny-tiny drop of essential lavender oil. Your lips will shine like a brand new polished Ferrari. The mixture cannot go bad, so you can keep it in the fridge for a long time, but you will love this lip-gloss so much that you will use it in a religiously fanatic way.
Sensual red lip-gloss
On the other hand, if you think that neutral lip glosses are just plain boring, you can add the most inviting red color if you invite just one full tablespoon of beet-root juice in the neutral lip-gloss mixture party. The result will be dazzling.
Sweet cocoa
The fashion editors are claiming that brown is the new red, so if by any chance you are a hard cord fashionista, you have to ditch the regular red lip gloss and replace it with a brown hued lip gloss. For this alchemy attempt, you need to revoke the party invite for the beetroot juice and replace it with one teaspoon of cocoa powder enriched with one drop of vanilla essential oil.
