Is your SPF-infused face moisturiser as effective as your sunscreen?

You already know that beauty trends come and go, but one thing remains constant: your skincare and makeup routine should change with the seasons. Think lightweight moisturizers for summer and rich body butters for winter. But while we’re busy pampering our skin, we often overlook our lips. Many of us reach for the same lip balm all year round, which can lead to dry, flaky lips—especially during the colder, drier months when they need extra care. And let's be honest, nothing kills the vibe faster than trying to apply lipstick on chapped lips—it’s the opposite of that smooth, buttery finish we all crave.
But don’t worry, we’ve got your back (or, rather, your lips). Keep scrolling for tips on how to keep your pout perfectly hydrated all year long—no cracks, no flakes, and no cakey lipstick in sight.
The key to a smooth and hydrated canvas lies in the prep. And this is why it is crucial to introduce an overnight lip repair mask in your nightly routine. The beauty of these masks lies in their thick formula and the ingredients used like—shea butter, vitamin E, jojoba oil and hyaluronic acid. They work hard and in silence to hydrate your skin and fortify the lip barrier for a plump pout by morning.
Wondering how to get rid of flaky lips? Introduce lip scrubs in your routine. These exfoliators smooth out rough texture and slough off dead cells. But a word of caution—use these scrubs only once or twice a week. You see, the lips have some of the thinnest skin on the body, hence over-scrubbing can lead to irritation and dryness. To avoid over-exfoliation, opt for sugar-based scrubs.
To simplify your routine, your trusty lip balm can moonlight as a lip primer. However, you just need some patience—let your balm sit for at least 10-20 minutes before layering on your lipstick. Why? Applying lipstick immediately after lip balm doesn’t give the balm enough time to properly set, leading to quicker wear-off and uneven application. We suggest incorporating this step at the very start of your makeup routine. That way, by the time you finish your look, your lips will have fully soaked in the hydrating goodness.
Now is the time to reach for your trusted lipstick. If your lips are very dry, opt for a hydrating and cream-based formula. These come in two forms—bullet and liquid lipsticks. Bullet lipsticks are ideal for when you want to build colour gradually, while liquid lipsticks deliver a high-shine, plush pout in one swipe. Look for formulas infused with nourishing ingredients like aloe vera, macadamia oil, argan oil or cocoa butter to make your lipstick more skin friendly.
