Our top tips on how to get smooth lips
Avoid licking your lips
Want to know how to stop lips from peeling? Well, there’s one habit you’ll have to break first, and that is licking your lips. Trust us, we know it’s tempting when your lips feel dry, but it only provides temporary relief. After a while, repeated licking removes the oily surface film that protects the lips, leaving them vulnerable to inflammation once the saliva evaporates! So if you feel the urge, have a lip balm on standby to swipe instead.
Exfoliate away the flakes
Exfoliating regularly is key to saying goodbye to flaky, chapped lips for good! All you need to do is grab a gentle lip scrub (or a soft bristled toothbrush) and buff away the dead skin cells in a circular motion. Not only will this step encourage new cells to form, but it’ll also help you get the most from your lip balms by allowing them to penetrate the lip properly.

Once you’ve prepped and primed your lips with a gentle scrub, it’s time to follow up with a hydrating lip balm. Look out for ingredients like ceramides, shea butter and vitamin E in your balms, as these will help to deliver nourishment, keeping your lips luscious for longer. However, this isn’t always a quick fix… sometimes chapped lips take up to 3 weeks to heal, so remember to apply daily.

Apply a lip mask
If your pout is seriously parched, applying a standard lip balm might not cut it. For lips needing extra care, you’ll want an ultra-moisturising lip mask or medicated lip balm at the ready. Whether you add a lip mask to the end of your pamper session or leave a hydrating lip treatment on while you get your beauty sleep, your lips will be back to feeling their best in no time at all!
