3 Steps To Exfoliate Your Lips


Don't you guys hate it when your matte lipsticks emphasize the flaws of your lips? Whether it's drying or not exfoliated enough that you can see cracks everywhere. It's just a horrifying experience that I can relate to. So I have a solution which I hope will work for you guys as it worked for me. This can be done every day or every other day depends on how dry your lips are.

(Disclaimer: I'm not a professional, this is just what I do with my lips, so do this at your own risk.)
This can be done as a night or day regimen since all of the products can be used as a lip balm anyway.




1.GENTLY Brush your lips with a soft, clean toothbrush.
-  This will remove the dry skin from your lips. Be sure to buy a soft toothbrush to avoid irritation in your lips. AND I will emphasize again, brush your lips GENTLY. If you don't, your lips might bleed and it's a nasty experience. Also, you will not use any toothpaste or soap, just a clean toothbrush. A suggestion I would share is have a brush solely for your lips.

2. Apply any of the following products overnight or before you start your day:
(Choose only one)

- Petroleum Jelly
I use Apollo brand which is available at almost every drugstore nation wide. (You can use other brands as well like Vaseline) This is not my go-to product whenever I do this routine but this can also be used as a moisturizer. It prevents cracking of the skin which is usually what happens for dry lips. I don't use this as much for my lips since I prefer using this whenever I have small scratches and burns since this is really effective. Anyways, I love this product.


- Moisturizing Lip Balm (E.g. Maybelline Baby Lips, Chapstick, EOS)
I'm using Maybelline Baby Lips Lipbalm which I reviewed right here. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS PRODUCT. This is my favorite lip balm E V E R. This is a tinted lip balm which can really moisturize your lips like crazy. If you want a more detailed review I have it posted.


- Nivea Creme
Like Apollo petoleum jelly, this is also a multi purpose product. It can moisturize almost anything and can be used as a make-up remover at the same time. PLUS, it's also older than me which is a great evidence that this product really is good. For a detailed review, I have it posted right here. If you're going to use this during the day, be sure to use a small amount because the consistency of this product is really thick.

3. Keep yourself hydrated throughout the day.
- Be sure to drink lots of water so as to prevent your lips from drying. If you're dehydrated, it's only natural for your lips to start drying up even after moisturizing it overnight. SO THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT for maintenance.

I hope this routine works for you guys!

Nivea Creme Review



 "Soft and smooth" are common adjectives that most people associate with their ideal skin type. I for one would love having that satin smooth and cotton soft skin. Normally, we achieve this by purchasing an effective moisturizer. It led me to this Nivea Creme all around moisturizer which has a lot of positive reviews online. It intrigued me because a lot of people are recommending this product. Even my family loved this so I decided to try this out. Nivea Creme is an all around moisturizer which means that it can be applied anywhere you want it to. In this review, I tested it out in my face, lips and hair.







First let's start with the packaging and price. Is it affordable or expensive? Well, for a moisturizer it has a normal price. It's not that expensive and not that cheap either. It's kind of in the middle. It has three sizes: 30, 60 and 150 ml. The prices are 74, 127 and 214 pesos respectively.

Now let's move on with the cream. So this is how it looks like on my skin.





What I like about the product is that it's really thick. So a small amount can go a long way. However, this can also be a disadvantage which I will explain later. The color of the cream is a normal white as you can see in the picture. But it blends really well on the skin so it's not a problem as a day cream. The smell, on the other hand, is unpleasant (for me) but not that strong. It smells like an old perfume or powder if you know what I mean. It's not a big deal to me because It's just subtle and not overpowering.

For the face, I tried using this as a night moisturizer and a make up primer. It's not good as a make up primer since it's really oily and thick when you put it on. So I don't recommend this as a day cream either. I'm not sure if the reason why it's so oily is because the weather is humid out here but if you guys want you can try this out. In my experience, it work well if used as a night moisturizer before you sleep since it stays on overnight. It did moisturized my face a little after I used it for a week but I didn't feel a major effect on my face. Maybe if you use this longer, you will see better results.

On the other hand, I recommend this for a lip moisturizer or if you're going to exfoliate your lips. It moisturized my lips really well that it was like putting on a clear lip balm. (P.s. it adds glow as well so you can use this as an alternative lip balm. You have to use a tiny tiny amount so as the white color will not accumulate to your lips.)

I recommend this as a hair leave on as well. I use this on my hair everyday after I take a bath and it leaves my hair soft and tame all day.

In summary:

Pros
  - Price is okay
  - Moisturizes well
  - Thick consistency (small amount can go a long way)
  - very flexible ( all around moisturizer)
 - Can be used as a Make-up remover

Cons
  - smells kind of unpleasant but not too overpowering
  - thick ( weighs down on the face as a day cream or primer)
  - oily ( not good as a primer)

Verdict:
I will buy this product again because it works well on my hair. PLUS, it can be used as an alternative make up remover. Although, I won't use this as a face moisturizer because It's not comfortable in the face.



Love,
