Tips For Healthy & Kissable Lips - What Must You Avoid?
As
whatever I see, a set of healthy lips appears to be kissable by itself. As I mentioned in my previous article on lip color change, healthy people have reddish, averaged moist and shiny lips, isn't it a picture of sexy and inviting pouts too?

Since
health issues could reveal on the lips, when we finally try to workout a healthy and kissable lips, close attention has to be paid on daily diets, body workout, lifestyle besides direct care and protection of our lips. Let us start with things to avoid.

1.
Never Be A Night Owl
Research has shown that we need 7-8 hours of quality sleep per night to maintain good health. 11pm-2am are especially crucial for healing of damaged cells and rejuvenation of skins according to TCM. As lips skin is much thinner compared to facial skin, the effect of sleep deprivation could be more prominent on it. Lack of sleep is a form of stress which leads to lower body immunity. So, don't be a night owl and overworked to avoid darkening, drying and infections of lips.

2.
Stop Smoking

Nicotine in cigarette stains our lips besides teeth.
The longer we smoke the darker our lips become. Smoking risks our health and in turn affect the appearance of our lips too.

3. Avoid Outing Under Hot Sun

UV rays in sun is a major
cause of aging and burn on lips. Avoid sun bathing or outing under hot sun but UV rays present even in cloudy days, so, wear a lip balm or daily conditioning treatment for lips with sunscreen before you decide to step out of your house.

4.
Do Not Use Old, Expired Lipstick

Basic formulation of lipstick contains pigments, oils, waxes, emollients, colorings, fragrances and so on. Apparently, synthetic chemicals which tend to decompose after certain period of time are included in most lipsticks. Hence, watch out the expiry date
of your lipstick. Also, wear only reliable brands of lipsticks with no harmful ingredients such as lead and butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP).

5.
Cut Down Coffee & Tea
Coffee and tea cause darkening of lips but not at a significant extent as smoking does. Cut down the consumption however if you drink more than 2 cups a day. Replace these caffeinated drinks with healthy fruit juices for healthier lips.

6. No Licking Please

Don't lick your lips
when they are getting dried. Saliva will evaporate eventually and leaves your lips dryer as well as cracked. Chapped lips sufferers especially need to consciously stop the action.

Kiss Chapped Lips Goodbye - Top 9 Reasons For Chapped Lips Revealed

Kiss Chapped Lips Goodbye - Top 9 Reasons For Chapped Lips RevealedWould you kiss goodbye to chapped lips forever? Yes, but similar to any chronic condition you must first identify the cause so you can smartly plan your remedy.

Here are the 9
most common causes of chronic lip chapping which will give you a "heads up" on identifying the culprit.

1) Cosmetics - Lipsticks
include a wide variety of chemicals that can wreak havoc on your lip's natural oils. The one watch out for is "propyl gallate" which can cause a contact allergy.

2) Lip Care Products - Believe it or not, those lip balms and moisturizers you use to treat chapped lips may make matters worse. The petroleum base used in many of these products may cause an adverse reaction for some people. Due to reports of toxic side affects the EU has recently banned petroleum from future lip care products.

3) Flavoring Agents - Although commonly overlooked
many people are allergic and/or understanding of artificial and natural flavoring agents. The main culprits are red dye (candy, lozenges, gum and mouthwash), guaiazuline (toothpaste) and cinnamon flavoring.

4)
Fruit Juice - Citric acids obtained in orange juice (or any other kind of juice) can severely irritate your lips. This is due to photo-toxic residue left behind on the corners of your own mouth.

5) Vitamins -
Too much Vitamin A and B12 can cause crusty and swollen lips. It does not matter if your source of vitamins comes from whole foods or supplements. Stay under 25,000 IU of Vitamin A per day and minimize your intake of cobalt contained within Vitamin B12.

6) Dehydration - Are you getting enough water? Drinking 8 to 10
cups of water a day is not only essential for good health but is also a good preventative measure against getting chapped lips.

7) Smoking -
Natural oils on your lips (which prevent dehydration) tend to dry up every time you smoke a cigarette. Another great reason to trash those cancer sticks.

8) Drugs - Side affects from some medications
might also dry out your lips. Harsh acne treatments are often the culprit. Check with a dermatologist if this is something you are concerned about.

9)
Fungal Infection - If none of the above causes seem to apply to you it is possible that a fungal infection may be the inherent problem. See a dermatologist for an evaluation.
Take the time now to think about which of the above is the most likely cause of your chapped lips. Once you have narrowed down your list of likely suspects to just one take action to eliminate this from your lifestyle for at least 7 days.

Monitor your progress, if after a few days your lips are restored to their former glory, you now know what habit to avoid in the future. If your chapped lips have not cleared up move on to the next likely suspect, and repeat.
