Perfect Summer Lip Care

Summer is here and so is Summer break! It has been in full swing with sleepovers, family barbeques and pool days! I was hoping that summer would be full of cute outfits and makeup looks too. Instead, it has been full of moping up sweat, messy buns and sitting naked in front of a fan! Trying to avoid makeup at all costs and adding perfect Summer lip care to the list.

Summer is a great time to get a fab skincare routine up and together though. Here you can find a great post for both oily summer skincare and dry summer skincare. As with sunshine comes different needs for your skin.

Your Perfect Summer Lip Care

The same can be said for your lips too. These, however, get highly neglected and ladies! It needs to stop because lips deserve love too! I mean so many people look at your mouth on the daily, you want that smile to be the best it can be. You always want to take care of them properly to.

Especially in the Summer when we are exposed to more lip damaging elements than normal. With the heat as it is you are more likely to be a little dehydrated. Drinking more alcohol can also contribute to this. The sun itself can even have an effect on your lips, how they age and their appearance. Dry, wrinkled or chapped and crisp.

Today I am sharing everything you need for a Summer-perfect pout. Most importantly protecting your lips from the Summer weather. Starting with this great homemade Summer Lip Scrub.

DIY Summer Lip Scrub

1. Add a teaspoon and a half of petroleum jelly to a small bowl.
2. Then add half a teaspoon of honey.
3. 2/3 drops of jojoba oil.
4. Add 2 drops of either lavender or peppermint oil. One will be fine.
5. Mix together really well.
6. Slowly add a small amount of sugar and mix.
7. Keep adding sugar until you have your desired consistency. You’re aiming for a slightly softer lip balm.
8. Put this in a pot and refrigerate.

This mixture should last about two weeks in the fridge. Apply like you would a lip balm. Gently rub in little circular motions over your lips and rinse with warm water. Dry with a clean towel and add lip balm for a soft, supple and perfect pout. This will be incredible for chapped lips but perhaps avoid lemon then as that may sting. You can also use this all year round so will be great for winter too.

Perfect Summer Lip Care with Balms

The same way we protect our skin from the sun with SPF products and lotions. You should also be doing this with your lips. This will help with the unwanted ageing of the lips from sun damage and also cancers connecting to sun exposure.

There are lots of great SPF lip balms available and here are five great ones to get you started.

Garnier Amber Solaire

The sun lip protection stick is perfect on the go lip protection. Being a lipstick style balm with a lid you can throw this on, throw it in your back and your good to go.
