Product Push: Perfect Your Pucker!


While normally I like to give advice on what to eat to make you look and feel beautiful, I thought maybe I would mix it up and give you a break from the food, and get you informed of some beauty products ...I love! 

First up, for lips, it’s that time of year when lips can be dry and cracked, less than lustrous for when you slick on your gloss or attempt a bold red lip. Here are some tips to treat your lips to: 

Tip 1) brush your lips (yes that’s right), after you have brushed your teeth, rinse off the toothpaste and give your lips a good scrub (you can use a wash cloth too if you want) it’s a great way to exfoliate 

Tip 2) when you exfoliate your face, include your lips to. Since the age of 15 I have been using St Ives Apricot Scrub (it is the best and inexpensive too!) circular motions all of your face and lips will remove peeling skin, and buff your lips to perfection 

Tip 3) a good lip balm with SPF (Vaseline is not a good choice, it can actually dry your lips out, hence the name “petroleum jelly”) I love Nivea lip balms, they’re so creamy! 

Tip 4) Dry, white or chapped lips are a telltale sign of dehydration, so drink water, you know the drill! 

Tip 5) Pick a hydrating tint for your lips, some glosses peel your lips more than others…Loreal Color Juice is my pick, for a splurge: Lancome Juicy Tubes are great! Give a rest to the matte lipsticks for a while, some can be dehydrating, and you want a luscious pout right? 
So there you have it my first “Product Push” Beauty Recipe!
