Lip Care - Here's What You Can Do..

~Do It Yourself~

DIY Beeswax-Based Lip Balm 
You will need: 

-Half a teaspoon of beeswax
-Half a teaspoon of cacao butter
-Two teaspoon of oil (almond or grapeseed oil, for instance)
-Food flavors
-A lipstick container

Mixed all the ingredients together and put it in the lipstick container, then you are ready for a DIY lip balm!!

DIY Lip Scrub 




You will need:
1/4 teaspoon olive oil 
1/8 teaspoon brown sugar or 
Small glass container or bowl for mixing


Mix together 1/4 teaspoon olive oil and 1/8 teaspoon brown sugar in a glass container or bowl.  After that, apply to lips, gently rubbing in a circular motion.  Rinse off excess with water.  The brown sugar will rinse off leaving a small amount of the olive oil behind, which adds moisture and a little shine to your lips.  This can then be followed up with your favorite all-natural lip balm if desired.

Alternatively, you can also use:
1 teaspoon of honey
2 teaspoon of sugar
Mixed both ingredients until sticky and rub it to your lip and leave it for 2 minutes!!




Did You Know?
There are different types of lips as well as its thickness.
Four Types of Lips Width (thickness)
      I.        Thin

    II.        Medium
   III.        Thick
  IV.        Inverted 


Lips can change shape and volume. This occurs when the compression or stretching of the lips, while deterring coughing or laughing, with a smile or yawn. 
Men:  50 and 55 mm respectively.
Women: 40 and 48 mm respectively.
Children: The size of the lips and mouth slits is much smaller and proportional to age

Choose your style!



            Classic:
            This style of lip augmentation is a subtle, yet produces a distinctive formation of all the 5 natural planes that exist in the lips. Women who have last volume through aging and those who want a subtle augmentation choose this style.
                                                                 
           Rubina:
            It is the full expression of the natural 5 planes that exist in the lips. This means that any more material placed in the lips will distort these forms. Rubina lips are heavily dependent on the facial structure of the woman wanting this look. If they have enough length to their face from the bottom of the nose to the chin, then this can be a very pleasing style.

           Cupid:
            Cupid form is the rarest form of all lips. The Cupid lip form has a very powerful youthful presentation. This is because Cupid lip form is very prominent in pre adolescent females.
                                                                  
           Pearlique:
           This lip style accentuates the lower lip. Pearlique is the opposite of the Cupid style. By accenting the two teardrop shapes a more youthful, voluminous effect is achieved. Since Pearlique is isolated to the lower lip, it is able to be combined with other looks. Pearlique complements looks such as Cupid and Rubina very well.

           Hollywood:
            This style is ideal for women who desire attention to their lips without a full presentation of both upper and lower lip. This style is seen frequently in movie and entertainment personalities. This lip style potentiates all three forms of the upper lip, which are the two tapering rhomboid shapes and the half bucket on the middle of the upper lip.

           Angelic:
           Angelic form is another full expression of the upper lip. This lip form potentiates the lateral borders of the upper lip, specifically Segments 1 and 3, Zone B. This is a pleasing form for patients with fuller volume in upper lip combined with a narrow lip length; it elongates and shapes the upper lip like angel’s wings.


Tips!
Morning Lips
Brush your lips with a soft baby toothbrush and apply some lip balm to it.
Every Day Lips
Avoid over exposure to sunrays and apply lipstick with moisturizers and sunscreen in it.
