Almost all of us know that with age, our skin starts losing its suppleness and
elasticity. However, very few are aware of the fact that as we add years to our
age, the ability of our skin to retain moisture also starts diminishing. If you
add the cold, dry and brutal months of winter to this, the result is dry and
parched skin, especially lips. In fact, lips are the first to show signs of
dryness, chipping and flaking in the winter months as well as otherwise. Neither
do dry lips look appealing, nor are they a comfort to live with. If you want to
know more about the ways to soften your lips, make use of the tips provided
below.
How To Soften Your Lips
Toothbrush Method
* After you have brushed your teeth properly, don't rinse off the toothpaste
left on it.
* Using the toothpaste as lubricant, brush your lips with your toothbrush.
* Move the toothbrush softly over your lips, in circles.
* Keep brushing until your lips feel smooth.
* Rinse off the toothpaste from your brush as well as your lips.
* Apply a generous dose of lip-balm, as the final step.
Moisturizer Method

lips.
