Have you ever wondered how to get soft lips? One of the hallmarks of effortless beauty is a plump, kissable pout. However, aside from a pop of color or a touch of shine, we often forget to give our lips the proper care they deserve before we run out the door. Dermatologist Bruce Bart, M.D., tells SHAPE Magazine that our lips are sensitive to moisture: “When exposed to moisture, they absorb water and fill up. When they're dehydrated, they dry up and shrink. "
If you flinch at the thought of cracked and shriveled lips, you are not alone. Looking for tips for soft lips? Here's how to remove chapped lips once and for all, from exfoliating to lip moisturizing products.
