Lips in the summer light: care and tips

Summer calls for romance, walks and moonlit kisses, but what about your lips? Could they have suffered from sunlight and wind damage? If so, this article will help bring them back soft and tender.

Exfoliation

In summer, lips become rough and chapped due to sun and wind exposure. The solution is simple: first apply a greasy lipstick, wait for it to soften your lips, then use some sugar as a scrub. Rinse it off and moisturize your lips again with lipstick.

Moisturizing

Dry lips need moisturizing. Always wear a moisturizing lipstick with SPF 15 or higher on the beach.

Volume

Use a wet shimmer lip gloss or combine two shades of lipstick to create volume. Outline your lips with a pencil, apply a dark lipstick, then remove it in the center and apply a lighter shade.

Color

Lipstick color depends on your preference, but muted shades of rose and bright fuchsia are popular this summer. Red is trending towards purple, and watermelon red and delicate mallow are also on trend.

Protection

Don't forget to protect your lips from the sun by choosing lipsticks with SPF and wearing balms with protection.

Lightness

Summer is the time for light textures and minimal makeup. Leave your lips fresh and natural by accentuating their natural color and moisturizing them with a light gloss.
