Balms, Scrubs & More: Lip Care For The Summer
Lips.Lips are perhaps the most ignored part of the face when it comes to skincare. We’re bombarded by advertisements of face washes, moisturisers, sunscreen and even night serums. But what about our pouts? Winter may be gone but chapped and darkened lips are here to stay. Well, we’re going to be doing just a little bit of shopping to restore them to their plump, pouty glory. Here are some lip tips and products you should invest in.
Lip Balms
Forest Essentials Narangi Glaze

This one’s perfect for the summer. With its sweet citrusy fragrance and almond oil as its base moisturiser, it doesn’t leave much room for complaint. It’s also super light lends a sheer gloss to the lips. BTW, If you’re the type of person who eats up their lip balm, you’ll be happy to know this one’s quite yummers!

Burt’s Bees Lip Balm

There’s a reason Burt’s Bees is one of America’s highest selling lip balms. This comes in a bunch of different flavours like vanilla bean and coconut and well, they’re all really good but for the Delhi summer, the peppermint works the best as it doesn’t just moisturise but leaves the lips feeling all cool and tingly. If your lips are super dry, opt for the pomegranate.
Price: Varies as it’s an imported product

The berry extracts in this particular mask act as antioxidants and soften the lips. The 8-hour application helps the skin absorb all the goodness better and helps make the lips firm and supple. When you wake up, it almost feels like you just applied a soothing lip balm.
