Lip care Tips

As you get older, your lips get narrower and more pinched and the corners of your mouth tend inexorably to drop. Lip care is very important. It can make your face look unattractive but it is possible to avoid this happening.

Moisturizing and 'plumping'
Almost all women dream of having plumps, fleshy lips that are for many the sign of sensuality. Before taking the plunge and having surgery, which you may later come to bitterly regret, try lip-rejuvenating creams, which have a visible 'plumping' effect and help to smooth out the fine lines around the mouth. You apply the creams on and around the lips. This is the best way for lip care.

Make-up tips
A typical problem when lips are not so young is that lipstick doesn't stay in place. As you get older, it tends to spread onto places where it shouldn't. The remedy is to draw a fine line around your mouth with a lip pencil before applying the lipstick. The wax in the pencil will prevent the lipstick from running. Avoid very dark shades, which tend to harden the face.

As a general rule, choose one shade darker than the natural color of your lips. Wear bright red lipsticks only when you're suntanned. Otherwise, choose pinkish or orange shades. Ask your friends and family what they think. Lipstick is the item of the make-up most obvious to eye, so they are sure to have opinion. And one final and important tip - check regularly to make sure your lipstick has not left any traces on your teeth!
