Treat your lips with lots of love and they’ll thank you for it.

Breaking bad beauty habits

Let Mentholatum Lipcare tell you how.

Keep lips moisturised

Drink lots of water and use a hydrating lipcare product like Mentholatum Lipcare Therapy Gel to prevent dry, chapped lips.

Available in Lip Balm and Lip Gel formats for $4.50 and $4.20, respectively.

Look for these nourishing ingredients

When shopping for lip balms, go for those packed with hydrating hyaluronic acid and nourishing shea butter, vitamin E, and avocado, babassu, jojoba and olive oils. These ingredients are found in most Mentholatum Lipcare products. Get sun protection Like your skin, frequent exposure to UV rays and the elements can damage your lips. Go for a moisturising lip product that offers sun protection like Mentholatum LipIce Fruity with SPF 15.

Available in Apple, Lemon and Strawberry for $4.50 each.

Use tinted lip balms

Lip care products like Mentholatum LipIce Sheer Colour are perfect for girls on the go – it offers buildable colour while keeping lips soft for hours.

Available in Fragrance Free, Shimmer and Strawberry for $7.50 each.

DITCH

Biting your lips

If you’ve been doing it to get that just-bitten lip look, stop. The effect is only temporary, and it will damage your blood vessels and cause chronic soreness.

Picking your dry lips

As tempting as it is, it will only make your lips more chapped and can lead to open sores that may invite infection.

Licking your lips

This will cause your lips to be even more dry, as your saliva has digestive enzymes that wear the lips’ thin skin down, leaving them more vulnerable to the dry air.

Not giving your lips a break

Wearing lipstick for over eight hours a day will dry out your lips, so make sure you remove it (especially longwearing lippies) properly after a long day and moisturise lips thoroughly.
