         Lips, Lips, Lips!  One of the most beautiful and intimate features on our  faces.  Although, we have many beautiful colors to dress them up with, it is equally important to properly nurture them so they are just as beautiful in there natural state. With age our lips begin to diminish in color, texture, and brightness. There are many factors that contribute to this such as lipstick stains, smoking, sun exposure, and age. Here are some inexpensive natural ways to keep your lips plump, bright, and youthful right out of the comfort of your very own home.

*One of the main reasons that lips get stained and loose color in pigmentation over the years is because of deep lipsticks/lip-liners such as intense reds and pinks which carry a lot of led. To help prevent this, use a cotton ball with olive oil to thoroughly remove lipstick and then a apply a rich balm for moisture.

*With heavy based  matte lipsticks, be sure to wear a balm on the lips before applying lipsticks to keep the lips moisturized and prevent direct lip staining.

* The lips are delicate so always apply a SPF whether it is in a balm, lipstick, or a gloss.

* To exfoliate lips apply olive oil and baking soda to remove and buff old skin.

*To restore shine apply olive oil which will also help plump and shine the lips.

*Petroleum jelly is the best form of deep hydration and moisture for the lips.

*For brightness, apply lime juice and honey about 3 times a week to brighten lip pigmentation and restore its' natural color.
