6 Tips for Maintaining Soft Lips

Not only is exfoliation a necessity for good skin, it is also a must for the maintenance of soft kissable lips. One of the easiest and cheapest ways to keep your lips soft is to gently massage them with a clean toothbrush. Exfoliate them with a little sugar or sea salt if they are not cracked. Use olive oil or an oil or liquid you are comfortable with and massage sugar or salt onto your lips in a circular fashion and wipe clean. Make sure you use a lip balm after this process.

Make sure your lips are always covered with lip balm. Look out for lip balms with moisturizing ingredients such as vitamin E and aloe. Many balms also come with antioxidants such as vitamins C and E.
6. Orange peels and rose petals
If you want your lips to look rosy pink and fresh, then there can be no better way than to use roses itself for the same. After soaking some rose petal in milk for some time, make a paste of them and add a few drops of honey and glycerin to it.
