Methods for Exfoliating and Care of Dead Skin Cells

It is said that the epidermal layer of the lips is about 50% thinner than other skin, and since the dermis lacks sweat glands or hair follicle tissue, they are susceptible to moisture loss and damage from external stimuli. In dry and cold weather like today, the skin's regenerative capacity decreases, which can lead to serious skin problems.

 

It is said that lips age faster than other skin because they are sensitive to external stimuli and changes. Also, since the lips are the most prominent feature when looking at a face for the first time, neglecting their care can make you look older or unkempt, so proper care is essential!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We often do this out of habit, don't we? However, it's a big no-no for your lip health. Saliva contains various enzymes that actually make your lips drier. Biting your lips with your hands is also not good. Send those habits that irritate your lips far, far away.

 

When choosing lip products, it is a good idea to check first whether they offer lip protection. If purchasing dedicated lip products feels like a burden, you can also utilize items you already have at home! Mixing a highly concentrated essence or eye cream from your vanity with the lip product is also a great option. You need healthy lips for lipstick and lip gloss to show up beautifully!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let's exfoliate, lip scrub!!

 

Sometimes, unsightly white flakes of dead skin appear on your lips, don't you? It makes me upset every time that happens, too. (No matter how pretty your lip color is, it ends up looking like it's floating on top of your lips... T.T) Some of you might try to remove the dead skin by scrubbing it off with a towel like you're exfoliating, or even picking at it with your fingers, but the fact is, you should absolutely never do that! It causes excessive irritation to the skin and damages skin cells. Rather than forcibly removing dead skin cells from your lips, I recommend using a dedicated lip scrub.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Brand names: Banila Co, Fresh)

 

The first recommended product is Banila Co.'s Goodnight Kiss Lip Care Scrub, a dedicated lip scrub designed for smooth and soft lips. It is a convenient product that you simply apply, massage, and wipe off. The lip beads inside exfoliate dead skin cells, while the product contains nourishing ingredients such as jojoba oil!

 

The second product is Fresh's Sugar Lip Polish, where natural sugar crystals gently remove dead skin cells from the lip surface, leaving your lips healthy and clear!! Oils such as bergamot, lemon, and grapefruit will nourish your lips and leave you feeling refreshed!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lips need UV protection too!

 

You're making sure to apply sunscreen every morning, right? Sun protection is essential not only in summer but throughout all four seasons. You need to pay attention to UV protection for your lips just as you do for your face. This is because lip wrinkles worsen with age and frequent exposure to harsh environmental conditions. Since there are many lip balms these days with UV protection, be sure to check them out before you buy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Brand names: Aveda, Bobbi Brown)

 

The first product is Aveda's Lip Saver SPF 15. Natural wax ingredients create a protective barrier on the lips, while Vitamin E helps keep them smooth. It also offers UVA and UVB protection, shielding your lips from UV rays and environmental factors. Applying a generous amount will be very helpful for moisturizing and soothing your lips!

 

The second product is a Bobbi Brown lip balm, a best-selling item that is already famous through word of mouth. Excessive exposure to UV rays destroys lip proteins, which can deepen wrinkles and accelerate aging. With SPF 15, it will help prevent lip aging!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Moisturizing and lip makeup effects all in one!

 

Our bodies tend to lose moisture while we sleep, and our lips are often very dry when we wake up. Please provide moisture and nourishment before applying lipstick or lip gloss in the morning. This will help the trendy coral color look beautiful. While using a lip balm is helpful, gently massaging along your facial contours from your jaw towards your ears also contributes to healthy lips.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Brand Names: Benefit, Bobbi Brown)

 

Multi-functional products that provide both moisture and color at once, without the need for separate lip gloss or lipstick, are gaining a lot of popularity these days! The first product I recommend is Benefit's Benetint Lip Balm. Containing Vitamin E, it protects the lips to keep them hydrated and glossy, while the rose petal scent adds a flush along with fragrance, creating vibrant and lovely lips. It keeps them moisturized for a long time, making it especially great for the changing seasons!

 

The second product is Bobbi Brown's Creamy Lip Color, characterized by its rich color and smooth texture. It contains shea butter, which is second to none for moisturization, and plant-based moisturizers, so it applies smoothly and has excellent longevity.
