Natural Care For Your Lips

Fall is here and along with the changing season is my favorite game watching sport - football. I love the crowds, the school spirit and the testosterone driven game of football. Nothing beats attending a game in person, instead of watching it on TV, but you don't want to come away with chapped lips or a sunburn so you need to take care.

Your lips lack natural oils and melanin, the pigment that the rest of your skin has to protect you from sun damage. The sun combined with strong winds or cool weather can cause your lips to become chapped. Our instinct is to lick our lips but this just causes the lips to dry out faster. Here are some tips to help keep your lips smooth, sunburn free and kissable:

Frequently apply a lip balm or lipstick with a SPF of at least 15. You can go for clear or many fabulous colors.

Another alternative is an old standby, petroleum jelly, which works great for both men and women. And it is cheap too!

If you are in a pinch and forgot your lipstick, chap stick or lip balm you can run your finger along the edge of your nose and pick up a little oil this way to apply to your lips.
