February is a month for kissing. After all, moments after we ring in the new year, we are bombarded with images encouraging us to celebrate, i.e. eat candy and buy expensive gifts on St. Valentine's Day. Although reader, I should point out that I am not what many people would call a romantic. Anyway, back to the issue of lips. I find it funny that we are supposed to use our lips liberally this month, when it is cold outside and many people are walking around with seriously chapped lips. Not only do my lips dry up, they also tend to crack on the sides.
I have different tricks for dealing with yucky puckers. Here are two ideas. Feel free to share your own:
Idea #1
Warm washcloth meets Vaseline = improved lips
1. Rub Vaseline or Aquaphor onto lips.
2. Gently scrub lips with warm washcloth or old toothbrush
3. Reapply Vaseline or other balm to keep lips protected.
Idea #2
Sugar + water = sweet, soft mouth
1. Mix small amount of sugar with water
2. massage solution onto lips
3. Dry and apply Vaseline or other favorite balm.
