Good day and I trust we're all staying safe and well?? I appreciate @secretbeauty for this lovely contest. Well,I'll be sharing my little knowledge about our lips and how we can care for it.
EVERYTHING WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE LIPS

As we all know,we humans love to look good in all aspects of our body and the lips aren't left out. But this cannot be achieved if the lips are not properly and adequately cared for. The skin on the lips are much thinner and sensitive than the skin on the other parts of our body. Hence,the easy cracking of the lips. It is safe to say that the lips are sensitive if not well taken care of and this becomes a problem during the cold/dry season.
COMMON LIPS PROBLEM
We have several lips problem but I'll be talking about the major three types that we have.

1. Chapping: this is when the lips are cracked and it can occur at any season. To prevent and treat this,apply a good lip balm containing sun protection and vitamin A,C or E daily.
2. Splitting: this is when the lips cracks after sleeping in dry air. To prevent this,apply a good balm before going to bed.
3. Cold sores: this is caused by viral infections. The sores looks like blisters and open scabs. To avoid another infection,use cotton swabs to apply lipstick while sore is visible and avoid sharing any lip products that you have to directly on your lips so as to avoid spreading the infection to others.

6 TIPS FOR LIP CARE

They are several ways via which we can take care of our lips,though some of us may be ignorant of it because not everyone knows that the lips needs to be cared for. I will be explaining the six ways by which we can care for our lips and I do hope we find it educating🤗🤗🤗...
1. EXFOLIATE: to exfoliate means to shred the dead skin cell off our body,leaving the skin looking rejuvenating again. This applied to the lips as well and this can be achieved by brushing the lips daily but with a soft brush in order not to give the lips any nasty cuts or by making use of soft washcloths. You could also try homemade scrubs like mixing sugar and honey together,leaving it to settle on your lips for about 5 minutes then you wash it off.
2. DIET: oh yes!! Our diets have a huge role to play in our achieving a healthy,looking lip. It's best you follow a healthy diet plan. One of the foods that helps us achieve this is eating WALNUTS!! Walnuts as we know is rich in omega 3 which helps to replace the dead the skin cells. Some foods that helps us achieve this are fish,almond oil,milk and so on.
3. STAY HYDRATED: Staying hydrated gives your lips a fresh and rich look. Just as staying dehydrated makes the body look dull,so does staying dehydrated affects the lips.
4. CHECK YOUR MEDICINE CABINET: not all products are healthy for the lips. Always check out for products that contains almond oil,Shea butter,coconut oil because they are good for the lips unlike products that contains camphor in them.
5. REDUCE EXPOSURE TO TOXINS: exposing the lips to toxins such as smoke,polluted air and chemicals are dangerous because the aforementioned can darken and make the lips look aged quickly.
6. PROTECT LIPS FROM UV RAYS CONTAINED IN THE SUN: try using SPF 15 daily to protect your lips from sunlight as the UV rays contained in the sun may damage it.
OTHER WAYS WE CAN CARE FOR THE LIPS INCLUDES;

• Do not touch or lick your lips.
• Apply citrus such as lemon juice to your lips but remember not to apply it on a broken or cracks lips.
• Massage lips with natural,nourishing oils to boost the circulation of blood in that area.
• Take off makeup before bed.
• Always prepare the lips before applying any lipstick to avoid the lips getting dried out before applying the lipstick. You could prep the lips by applying any natural oil such as almond or coconut oil.

The bottom line is to know your skin tone and what works for you but make sure to always exfoliate and hydrate your lips to prevent flaking. Thank you for your time and I hope you enjoyed and found my article educating😍😍..
