DAILY LIP LOVE

TUTORIAL + PHOTOGRAPHY BY AMY NADINE, GRAPHIC DESIGN BY EUNICE CHUN

I have become a broken record with my clients. Unless you suffer from severe cracked lips (which are a whole other thing entirely that your doctor can help you with), there is no excuse for them to sit in my chair with chapped lips! I always quote Oprah… when you know better, you do better. So let me let you in on the best thing you can do twice a day to have soft and smooth lips all year long. When you brush your teeth, brush your lips! Every single time (hopefully that means twice a day!). Right before you normally would spit, bring the toothbrush outside of your mouth, close it and run the brush back and forth over them. Then spit. That’s it! I promise you, if you make this part of your routine, you won’t remember what it was like for them to be anything but smooth!

TOOLS:

• Your favorite toothbrush and toothpaste.
• Your favorite lip balm — I spoil my clients with this one ($$$) in my kit but I am also obsessed with this one ($$) and this petroleum-free one ($) for myself.
• Your favorite liquid lipstick — My go-to’s are these velvet ones ($$) that do not budge and these gorgeous ones ($$) that Chloe is wearing above in Carina.

This is especially a must when you’re rocking a lip stain or liquid lipstick!
