Healthy and Hydrated Summer Lips

Posted: July 5th, 2019

The delicate skin that makes up your lips needs protection from the elements. With a good quality lip balm at hand, you can quickly keep your lips moisturized and protected from the sun.

No Lip Plumper!

Lip plumpers work by damaging your skin. They may actually cause more dryness than leaving your lips completely unprotected. Instead, invest in healthy living products that can make taking care of your lips easier and safer.

Always Use Sunscreen

An ideal summer lip maintenance program includes a lip balm that contains a great source of moisture such as shea butter combined with a sunblock. This team will keep your lips protected from sunburn, reduce your risk of chapping and keep your lips from cracking or flaking.

Water, Water, and More Water

Constantly suffering from dry lips is an indicator that you are not drinking enough water. To keep your body healthy, you must hydrate. Start early and add water intake to every meal. Always carry a water bottle. Try to invest in a bottle with a thermal wall so you can load it with ice in the morning and have a cool drink all day. If you have a caffeine habit, don't think of those ounces as hydrating. Too much caffeine can actually dehydrate you and should not be part of your health and wellness plan. Instead, drink extra water to replace the fluid you lose from caffeine.

Focus on Hydration and Sun Protection

Your summer fitness and fun goals should be the same. Always protect your skin with sunscreen, a good quality lip balm, and a hat. Protect your skin from the inside with plenty of water. Enjoy your summer!
