Get your lips ready for Valentine’s Day Girls! There’s nothing more annoying than leaning in for a smooch with the man of your dreams and realising you have cracked dry lips! Learn how to prevent them with these fab products and some of our secrets to achieve those soft smoochy lips. Here are all the steps you need to take for gorgeous kissable lips…
EXFOLIATE/POLISH & PRIME:
Exfoliating your lip will help get rid of any dead skin cells and leave you with super soft lips.
Use a good Primer before you apply your colour to help keep it in place.

MOISTURISE
Moisturise immediately after exfoliating using a lip balm. Always remember to use a lip balm with an SPF factor during the day. Licking your lip causes them to dry out due to the acid in your saliva.
