How To Actually Exfoliate the Lips

 As winter is arriving we tend to have chapped lips from time to time. There are a variety of reasons that can lead to having dry lips. The skin in the lips is very much sensitive and it can be pretty inefficient when it comes to retaining moisture. So exfoliating the lips can wear off the unwanted dry skin cells and can rejuvenate the skin around the lips. You should remember not to overdo it, at least you can exfoliate the lips once a week and you should remember not to use the scrub too much as it will produce irritation. Ishikka Jolly as the freelance makeup artist in Gurgaon will be described more in detail on the reasons behind exfoliating the lips and how to prevent from getting chapped lips.

Why do you need to exfoliate the lips and what are their benefits


The reasons behind exfoliating the skin on your lips are to wear off the flaky skin and to rejuvenate the skin. The skin in the lips does not contain the sebum that releases the oils so it often loses the moisturizer. Due to the weather conditions when it is dry it tends to make the skin dry and worsen. The frequent lip licking can also make the lips dry. One of the main benefits of exfoliation is that it removes the dead skin cells, it reveals fresh, smooth skin beneath. The exfoliation can help to increase the blood circulation on the lips. The discolored surface often slough off and are replaced with new ones.


What are the methods to be used in exfoliating the Skin on the Lips







There are certain methods on how actually you can start exfoliating the skin around the lips. So  Ishikka Jolly as a freelance make-up artist she will discuss more further on this blog.


a. You need to clean and pat dry the lips, before you can start with the exfoliation of the skin you need to remove the extra lipstick or gloss which are applied to the lips and follow up by patting it dry.


b. You need to exfoliate gently by using a circular motion to rub the skin on the lips. Be sure that you should not scrub, irritate as the skin might break and can cause more damage.


c. Once you have finished with the exfoliation you need to moisturize it by applying a thin layer of lip balm to form a protective barrier. In this manner, the skin around the lips will act as a protective barrier from exposure to the UV rays and all.
