When applying lipstick, women often encounter problems such as dry and peeling lips, so they need to regularly moisturize their lips.
Lip care to reduce dryness
– Lip makeup remover:
Even though the layer of lipstick is almost completely wiped off after a day of activity and eating, in reality, the lipstick still remains on the surface and in the grooves of the lips. If you do not remove the leftover lipstick, it will prevent the lips from being well taken care of, and over time it will lead to darkening and dryness. Since the skin of the lips is thinner and more sensitive, it is necessary to use specialized lip makeup removers.
– Exfoliate:
When applying lipstick, we immediately notice that there is a layer of skin on the lips that is prone to peeling. This is the process of dead skin peeling off more than usual. Do not use your hands or physical tools to remove this layer of skin as it will cause damage to the lips.
Use a lip balm to soften the lips, then gently exfoliate the lips to remove the dead skin layer. When regularly exfoliating, the lips will become soft and smooth, and when applying lipstick, the color will be more accurate and the skin will not peel.
– Moisturize:
In lipstick, especially matte lipstick, there are also some ingredients such as wax, alcohol, fragrance, and even lead… that can cause irritation and dryness, and peeling of the lips. Therefore, moisturizing the lips is essential in the beauty routine.
– Lip mask:
Specialized lip masks such as gel masks, overnight masks… are used overnight to improve pigmentation and moisturize the lips. Masks for immediate use also help moisturize the lips in 15 minutes before applying lipstick and prevent the lips from peeling.
2. How to apply lipstick for beautiful, long-lasting color
– Step 1: Apply lip balm to moisturize the lips and prevent harmful chemicals in lipstick, especially matte lipstick.
– Step 2: Apply a colorless lip primer to help the color of the lipstick last longer. If the lips are dark, you can use a concealer for the lips before applying colored lipstick. Concealer also helps prevent dryness and keep the lipstick from smudging.
– Step 3: Use a brush to pick up the lipstick and apply a thin, even layer to the lips. Leave it for about 30 seconds and repeat for the second time. Leave it for 30 seconds and then use a tissue to blot the lips, then apply the lipstick for the third time, press the lips on the tissue. Leave it for 30 seconds and then apply a layer of lip gloss to make the lips more vibrant and plump.
