Beauty Beat: Dry Lip Tips

rolling-stones-lipsTo battle the dry lips of winter, there is no better solution than good old fashioned (and inexpensive!) petroleum jelly. In fact, petroleum jelly is good for just about every dry body part you have! A tip from a friend is to scrub petroleum jelly into your dry and flaky lips with an old toothbrush several times a day, and your lips will be back in kissable shape before you know it. Put a good coat on at night before bed as well, and you will wake up with wonderfully soft lips in the morning. If your lips are in really bad shape, and you have to face the world, use a long wearing lipstick (Max Factor’s LipFinity is my favorite), and forego the lip gloss – just keep applying petroleum jelly throughout the day..

Thanks to my friend Julyne, About.com’s Guide to Beauty, for the toothbrush tip!

    I love this article/tip page because petroleum jelly really does work for the lips. Also, if you lick your lips a lot, then be sure to carry lip gloss or chap stick handy whenever needed. I always apply it like every ten min(Lol :)) but that always give my lips a smooth look and they also feel a lot better too!
    Hope this info helps…

    You are welcome! This really does work. I’ve been doing it since I learned the tip something like 15 years ago in Seventeen magazine….

    Really? I guess it’s back to vaseline for me. :-)
