Several areas of our face can show our age. One such area? Our lips. And, our lips are a focal point of our face…people gaze upon them when we are talking, admire them when we smile and of course appreciate them when we give big smooches!
As we age, our lips begin to thin, and over time fine lines appear around our mouth. Environmental factors (like too much sun), bad habits (like smoking) and even stress can age our lips, and consequently, add years to our appearance.
However, there are very easy steps that we can take to make our lips look sexy, healthy, youthful and turn back the hands of time if we incorporate the following tips into our daily beauty routine. In fact, if you follow the next seven steps that I present, you will be sure to have luscious lips in time for your Valentine’s Day celebrations!

Luscious Lip Tips: This next tip is fifth in a series of tips to keep your lips luscious and healthy. Our lips lack the ability to produce natural oils like our skin can. This makes our lips more vulnerable to the harsher elements of weather and even to changes in our health and diet routines.
Luscious Lip Tip #5: Exfoliate your lips. The easiest way to exfoliate your lips is to combine a bit of olive oil with some brown sugar. Rub that gently (the operative word being GENTLY!) onto your lips and rinse off. There are many fantastic products on the market that will also exfoliate your lips, and I have had great success with those as well.
I have also heard it is recommended to use a soft children’s toothbrush to gently exfoliate your lips as well. You could do that, however, I would recommend if you are going to use a soft toothbrush you could simply wet it with water. Again, this is a very gentle process, as you lips are tender, and you don’t want to irritate them with too much brushing/scrubbing.
One great resource that I look to for all kinds of wonderful beauty products, especially products to keep my lips looking their very best, is SpaLook.
