Save Your Lips This Summer

The lips are one of the first things people see on your face, so make sure they aren’t chapped or burned. Here are some great, inexpensive ways to keep your lips soft and healthy this summer:

1. Get Your Scrub On: Create an easy, yummy-smelling at-home lip scrub with sugar and honey. Mix two parts sugar with one part honey and rub all over your lips with your fingers once a week. Rinse with warm water to reveal smooth, supple lips.



2. Double Time! When you wake and apply your daily dose of face moisturizer, rub a bit of lotion onto your lips. Aquaphor Healing Ointment ($5.99) is designed for both skin and lips, so you’ll save money while getting great skin.

3. Use Protection – from the sun that is. Make sure to always use a lip balm with all-natural ingredients and an SPF to keep your lips from getting dry. Try LypSyl LypMoisturizer HoneyBerry SPF 15. It rolls on smooth and silky and includes ingredients like Swedish beeswax, shea and avocado butters to keep your lips soft all day long. (2.99, Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid)
