 Every girl
dreams of having juicy full lips. And lip care is the same work done every day
and there is nothing to do with the proper decorative lipstick only. Every part
of our body needs everyday care to stay beautiful and young. It is not possible
to recover within a short period of time intensively when the time is lost.
Unlike the skin of the body tender and delicate lip skin has no sebaceous
glands to protect and thus, it is more affected to outer factors, it may crack
and even bleed.
The daily
massage of lip skin is the right thing to start with in lip care procedure.
Massage is done with the tip of the terry towel or a special brush wit the
natural hair. Peeling procedure makes lips elastic and smooth. It should be
done once or twice a week, no more. The special peeling products are offered by
many respected cosmetic brands. When lips are exposed to wind so often to get dry
it says of lack of Vitamin А and Е.
Various oils contain these vitamins. So, if you have such a trouble, you’d
better use a drop of olive, sunflower, maize, castor or apricot oil to your
lips to make them smoother. Cosmetic vaseline has the same effect. Greasy or
oily substance is applied to lips for about half an hour, then the remainder is
soaked with a tissue and lipstick or lip-gloss is applied. Sour cream or buttercan replace the oils.
The British psychologist Kevin Baker has noticed something very interesting.
He discoveredthat every second person likes full lips with the opposite sex. He concluded then that such liking goes back to
ancient times when full lips symbolized thirst for life and open nature. Narrow tight lips tell of cold nature and prudence.
Lips
interact with other mimic features and they are far more expressive in emotions
than eyes or eye-brows. Lip is the circle muscle of the mouth lined with the
mucous from inside and with the skin and a layer of fatty tissue from outside.
Lips have the
red edging subject to various possible inflammations. Many women make attempts
to solve such problems applying glycerin though it is strongly forbidden to use
it. Glycerin makes the edge ever drier to do nothing but make the healthy lips
ugly-looking.
The
inflammatory process on lips is effectively healed with the chamomile extract
when the cotton pad soaked in the extract is applied to the affected spot. When
the inflammation gets acute, corticosteroid ointment is applied. The ointment
is better to purchase upon prescription of the cosmetology doctor.
Sometime
angular fissures occurs in the mouth corners as the painful cracks
caused by streptococci
infection. However, such cracks occur as the a consequence of lack of
nutritious vitamins in the organism. A vitamin complex is required to
heal. When the infectionis in its early stage it is treated with the
same corticosteroids while the acute conditionrequires antibiotic
therapy.
For the time of treatment chocolate, honey, species and heavyspicy
dishes should be excluded from daily diet. Fresh fruits, vegetables,
berries, rye bread
and vegetable oil commit to the health.
The other trouble
with lips is when the mouth corner turn down related to aging process. It occurs
with appearance of wrinkles around the mouth and deepening of nasolabial folds.
Such trouble can be eliminated through the general rejuvenation procedures.
To keep
lips elastic and firm, some simple exercises may be done on a daily basis. The complex
of lip gym takes five to ten minutes a day so it is worth doing it when the
results are obvious.
The most affordable
exercise is when lips are pulled and you blow as if trying to «put out» an
invisible candle. The exercise is done twenty times at a time with intervals to
avoid dazzling.
Deeply breathing
and puffing cheeks is also effective when the air is breathed out in parts,
slowly first, then in jerking. Ten times a day is enough.
Moreover, pronounce
vowel sounds in front of the mirror like «а», «о», «u», «e», «y». The vigorous articulation furthers blood flow to lips.
The lips skin favors for various home-made masks. Several recipes to remember
are as follow.
Currant
mask: take eight to ten berries of currant and smash them with a fork. Add ateaspoon of sour cream and honey.
Apply the mixture for fifteen
to twenty minutes, then remove the mask with the cotton gauze and moisturize
with a balm.
Strawberry mask:
smash a big strawberry and add some drops of mineral water. This mask is
applied to the lips for half an hour then washed out with warm water.
Cranberry mask:
take a teaspoon of cranberry juice and starch and mix. Apply to lips for
fifteen minutes and wash out with hot water.
Raspberry
mask: a juice of three to four berries is mixed with a half teaspoon of honey.
Ifnecessary, you can add some cream.
The mixture is applied to the lips
for fifteen minutes, washed out with warm water and then vaseline is applied.
Honey in
honey masks is perfectly matched with various fruity additives as apples,
apricots, bananas. It is mixed with the fruity mixture in one to one ration, so
a teaspoon of honey is take for a teaspoon of fruit mash. The exotic match of
honey and melon, honey and watermelon, honey and cucumber are welcome, either.
Sour
cream-based mask: a teaspoon of sour cream is mixed with two to three drops of
lemon juice and some oil, if any. The mask is applied to lips in thick layer.
Leave it for twenty minutes and wash it out with warm water.
When you
have no berries at home, look for something that can be used as the moisturizer
at a time. So, just sour cream with some juice or just honey with egg-yolk or
honey with carrot juice come as the perfect alternative to any berries and
fruits.
Again, lip
skin is too tender to rejuvenate in short period. It should be cared every day.
If you are short of time, just do the exercises. And smile. Smile a lot.
Smiling makes the muscles move and act, and perfect mood is ensured.
