Beauty Tip - Lips Age, Too

Like the rest of our skin, our lips change as we grow older. Since Lips are basically skin, they need to be cared for, too.

Lips are moisturized by tiny oil glands. As the years go by, these glands stop functioning optimally so it is important to look for lipsticks and lip balm that contain petrolatum, dimethicone, and glycerine to help retain moisture.

Just as you care for your face with facial moisturizers containing SPF, be sure to use lip products that contain broad-spectrum sunscreen with both UVA- and UVB-blocking ingredients. Aesthetically, this will help to minimize scaling, which is a huge plus. More importantly, it can help prevent precancerous lesions and even skin cancer.

Stop by Green Valley Salon and Spa to check out Twist and Pout,  the “one of a kind lip moisturizer that is equal parts fashion statement and sun protection confection”.
