Your Guide to Achieve Healthy, Hydrated Lips
Lips are one of the most delicate features on our face, and they require just as much attention as the rest of our skin. If you struggle with dryness, flakiness, or chapped lips, you’re not alone–and the team at our medical spa in Denver can help. Follow these expert tips to achieve soft, supple, and healthy lips.
Stay Hydrated
Drinking plenty of water is a simple yet effective way to hydrate your lips. Dehydration can quickly lead to dry, cracked lips, so be sure to drink enough water daily. The ideal amount varies based on your lifestyle and other factors, so start with around half your body weight in ounces each day (and adjust as necessary). Staying hydrated is a great way to maintain moisture in both your body and lips from the inside out.
Exfoliate Regularly
Like the rest of your skin, your lips need exfoliation to eliminate dead skin cells. Use a gentle lip scrub or create one with simple ingredients like sugar and honey at home. Exfoliating once or twice a week will leave your lips feeling smooth and prepared to absorb moisture.
Use a Nourishing Lip Balm
Invest in a high-quality lip balm containing hydrating ingredients such as shea butter, coconut oil, and hyaluronic acid. Steer clear of products with harsh chemicals, fragrances, or alcohol, as these can cause dryness instead of providing hydration.
Protect Against the Elements
Cold weather, wind, and sun exposure can all affect your skin. Always apply a lip balm with SPF before heading outdoors, and consider wearing a scarf in the winter months to shield your lips from harsh weather conditions. Preparing your skin for the winter here in Colorado is especially important!
Try a Hydrafacial Perk Lip Add-On
For those looking for an instant boost in hydration, a Hydrafacial Perk Lip add-on is the perfect solution. This advanced treatment deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates your lips using potent serums that lock in moisture and plump them up. Unlike traditional lip balms, the Perk Lip treatment penetrates deeply to restore hydration at a cellular level, leaving your lips soft, smooth, and visibly healthier.
