Lipstick trends come in all forms, textures, and colors that we often forget the real secret to having the perfect pout. It isn’t the latest lipstick trend nor the formula breakthrough, but is simply a good lip care routine for that plump, luscious lips.
Like a blank canvas, smooth and even lips will magnify the full effects of your favorite lippie. To achieve those luscious lips and maintain it, you need to invest in time and effort. Of course, with the right lip care products, you will surely go an extra mile.
Here are five simple steps with lip care tips you can choose from to complement your usual beauty regimen!
1. Hydrate
Nurture the lips from the inside out by staying hydrated everyday. Drinking plenty of water should also keep your skin refreshed and your body cleansed.

Do not lick your lips especially when you are experiencing the chapped lips. Saliva has the tendency to dry your pout as it takes out the natural oils from your lips.
2. Exfoliate
Remove the dead skin on your lips to reveal smoother lips. Regular lip exfoliation coupled with fingertip massage in circular motion will also help stimulate blood flow and circulation on your lips.
