How to Make Your Lips Smooth

This is an article about making your chapped lips smooth. It's easier than you think to get a smile with luscious, healthy lips. If you're having trouble with chapped lips, follow these simple steps.


STEPS:


(1) Throw away cheap, smelly, flavored chapsticks. You will only end up continually tasting them on 
      your lips, which prevents them from working by causing irritation.


(2) Avoid staining lipstick or dark colors. Lighter colors show off the pretty features of your face 
     much more.
(3) Use Burt's Beeswax or Carmex chapsticks and lip glosses. They tend to work better than 
      regular chapsticks, and are not much more expensive.
(4) Avoid all junk foods that build up plaque on your lips, this causes them to dry out more 
     than usual.  
(5) Always carry a moisturizing lip balm with you. Stick balms are best.
(6) Use a moisturizing lipstick in the daytime, then at night switch to the lip balm. Sleep with it 
     on, you'll wake up in the morning with smooth lips. This is extra protection for your lips if your lips are 
     chapped. Those better balms will do the trick in just a few days and your lips will look lighter, plump, 
     softer, supple, and smoother in two days!
(7) Use a plain toothbrush, dip it in some petroleum jelly or Vaseline at home and put it on the 
      toothbrush, like toothpaste, and brush all the dead skin off your lips. Then they will look 
      healthier and smooth. Sleep with the stuff on your lips and when you wake up the next morning wipe 
      it off. You'll have smooth lips. What it does is moisturize your lips while sleeping, wiping away natural 
      oils, and protecting the drying tissues.
(8) Wet your lips with water and then seal very quickly with chapstick.This will help retain the 
      moisture.
(9) If you want to remove dry skin fast and easy, smear sugar, not sweetener, on your lips. It 
     works as an exfoliant.
(10) Instead of using vaseline like a toothpaste, you can put it on through the night. Or you can 
       put vaseline on for a few minutes and scrub with a toothbrush.
(11) Mix a tablespoon of honey with enough sugar until you get a body-scrub like texture. Use 
        a toothbrush to exfoliate your lips with the sugar scrub.


TIPS:

• Don't ever bite your lips. It's a common bad habit for certain people which is hard to break. Biting your lips is making the dead skin come off, making your lips more dry, chapped, bleed and harder to heal.
• Moisturize your lips at all times, every day and every night. There is no such thing as your lips being overly moisturized, the more moisture the better.
• Try your very best to not lick your lips. Use the gloss or balm. It's much better and healthier. Licking your lips destroys them. Moisturizing lip balm is much better than your own saliva. Even if you don't lick your lips, moisture from your mouth (saliva) gets on them accidentally like talking and laughing.
• Don't forget to drink lots of water! This will also keep your lips from getting chapped.
• Do not pick at your lips. It makes them look blotchy and bleed.
• Lather your lips in some warm milk, this will healthily moisturize your lips and make them feel refreshed.

Warnings:

• If you don't moisturize your lips often, they might become dry and chapped again. Your lips are one of your brightest features of your face, so you should be able to show them off. If you don't use lip balm often, and especially if you live in a cold climate, you should moisturize your lips more often. Cold is the number one reason why lips get chapped.
• Don't lick your lips! Saliva will dry on and around the lips to leave a residual layer of mucus coating the skin, if you lick them repeatedly.
• Remember to dampen or to moisten your lips before you use sugar to exfoliate as lips are very delicate!
