Five Winter Lip Tips for Hydrated, Smooth, and Fuller Lips!

Winter can be tough on your lips, but it doesn’t have to be! With a few simple tweaks to your routine, you can keep your lips soft, hydrated, and picture-perfect all season long. Here are my top winter lip tips that are perfect for women of all ages!

1. Exfoliate Regularly

Dry, flaky lips can make any lipstick or gloss look uneven. Combat this by exfoliating once or twice a week with a gentle lip scrub.

DIY Exfoliation: Mix a little sugar with honey and gently massage it onto your lips in circular motions. Wipe it off with a warm, damp cloth, and you’re good to go!

Favorite Product: Opt for a ready-made lip exfoliator like Just Ingredients Coconut Vanilla Lip Scrub for a luxurious touch. It has organic coconut oil, raw sugar, vitamin E, and a blend of essential oils and contains only real ingredients for healthy, hydrated lips. Use KELLYE10 for 10% off through this link.

Why It Works: Exfoliating removes dead skin, leaving your lips smooth and prepped for hydration or color.

2. Hydrate with a Petroleum-Free Lip Balm

Chapped lips? An petroleum-free lip balm can work wonders! It provides deep hydration, for soft, kissable lips. Petroleum-free is the key as petroleum is what dries out lips. (No Chapstick!)

Favorite Product: Oliveda’s Lip Balm

Why It Works: It's an incredibly healing formula, rich in castor seed oil, squalane, arbequina olive oil and Hydroxytyrosol. Oliveda's Lip Balm creates visibly beautiful lips in no time at all, counteracts the formation of wrinkles, regenerates, rejuvenates, and defines the lips.

3. Choose Hydrating Lip Products

Chapstick may be what you grew up with, but it's not the best product to use on your lips. Chapstick and similar products change your pH balance to make lips more dehydrated. Second, it acts as an exfoliant to get rid of dry skin cells but ends up stripping a lot of the moisture barrier. Instead, reach for a lip oil!

Favorite Product: Seint Lip Oils

Why It Works: Lip oils are infused with jojoba seed and shea butter for deep moisturization. They're sheer and they come in 4 different tint options for just a hint of color.

4. Line and Layer for Long-Lasting Color

If you want color that lasts without sacrificing moisture, this tip is for you. Start with a soft lip liner to define your lips and prevent feathering.

Favorite Product: Celesty Dream Lips Lip Liner. They're easy to apply and come in lots of color options.

Why It Works: This helps lock in color while maintaining hydration, so you don’t have to compromise on comfort.

5. Opt for Hydrating Cream Lipsticks or Gloss

Matte lipsticks may look chic, but they can be drying - especially in winter. Instead reach for creamy lipsticks, hydrating glosses.

Favorite Product: Celesty 3D Mega Shine Lipgloss. Its lightweight formula glides onto lips leaving a high-gloss shine finish without feeling sticky.

Why It Works: it provides a look of volume and fullness, while moisturizing and protecting lips with Jojoba Oil and Vitamin E.

Bonus: Add a Touch of Shimmer for Festive Lips

Want a quick way to elevate your winter look? Dab a little shimmer or gloss in the center of your lips for a fuller, festive pout.

Try This: Use an illuminator like Seint’s Honey or Angel for a subtle shimmer.

Why It Works: Highlighting the center of your lips draws attention and creates the illusion of fuller lips.
