 Lip Care: Protecting and caring for your lips
The thinnest skin of your entire body is the skin covering your lips. The skin is so thin, that the underlying blood vessels contribute to their rosey color.

Protect them from burning and from sun damage with sunscreen designed for the lips.

Speed the skin's renewal process using a gentle lip exfoliator or lip mask two or three times weekly.

Minimize the use of lip liners; they draw moisture from the skin.

Always wear lip balm, lipstick or lip gloss to keep lips moist.
