Pucker Up: Treat Your Lips

Are your lips constantly dry and flaky? The combination of hot summer sun and dry indoor air conditioning leaves many of us with a parched pout. Go from chapped to kissable with our anti-aging rejuvenation lip treatment. Our special formula will leave your lips softer and fuller and reduce wrinkles on the lips and around the mouth. In addition to a lip treatment, here are some other must-haves for smiling, supple lips for the season:

• Use a lip balm with SPF 30 or higher.
• Gently exfoliate with a lip scrub. For a DIY version, mix olive oil and sugar.
• Increase your water intake and stay away from cigarettes.
• Avoid licking lips. Saliva will only make your lips drier.
• Add some color! Just remember that high-shine gloss will attract the sun to your lips. Apply a layer of opaque lipstick over your sunscreened lips before adding a dab of gloss. For Summer 2009, hot lip colors include peach, coral, and hot pink. It's an inexpensive way to make a bold statement--just be sure to keep the rest of your face neutral.
