3 TIPS FOR HEALTHY LIPS

The eyes may be the windows to the soul, but your lips let people know how you really feel. A smile and a laugh invite warm conversation, whereas a sharp frown lets people know it’s not a good time to chat. Your lips do a lot of work, so make sure you’re taking care of them! Here are three rules to follow when it comes to maintaining good lip health.

while it’s fun when your lips taste like cherry, stay away from flavored balms. These can actually lead to chapped lips.

2. MAKE TIME TO EXFOLIATE. You know how your shower loofah sloughs away dead skin cells, keeping your skin soft and healthy? Your lips are also covered in dead skin cells that need to be gently removed. Don’t worry, you don’t have to buy a tiny loofah. Instead, whip up a DIY scrub to exfoliate your lips.

If you’re going outside, be sure to protect your lips with lip balm containing SPF protection of 30 or higher.

1. MIND YOUR OWN BEESWAX.

Lip balm is a must, and not just for soothing chapped lips. Ensuring your lips stay moisturized will keep them healthy and prevent chapped, split lips. But before you apply the lip balm that’s been collecting dust on your dresser, check the ingredients. A good balm will have a base of beeswax, paraffin, and/or petroleum jelly. These lock in moisture and don’t evaporate as quickly. When shopping for lip balm, avoid harmful ingredients. Salicylic acid, menthol, camphor, and silicone can dry out your lips, and

With None of the Discomfort THE BEST LASER HAIR REMOVAL SYSTEM

Spring is in full swing here in Pennsylvania, which means it’s time to shed those winter layers and get out in the sun.

That’s why when it comes to laser hair removal in the underarm areas, bikini area, or anywhere else, we’ve got the treatment to beat all others.
