How to Create a Natural Lip Care Routine for All Season

Having smooth, healthy lips is an essential part of your overall skincare routine. Lips, being sensitive and delicate, require the right care to stay nourished and soft all year round. Changing weather conditions, such as dry winters, hot summers, or humid monsoons, can wreak havoc on your lips. However, a consistent, natural lip care routine can help you maintain perfect lips regardless of the season.

In this article, we’ll show you how to create a lip care routine using natural lip care products from Shankara. With the right products and steps, you’ll keep your lips moisturized, soft, and healthy all year long.

Understanding the Importance of Lip Care

Your lips have thinner skin than the rest of your body, making them more vulnerable to damage. Dryness, chapping, cracking, or even pigmentation can occur when lips are not cared for properly. Unlike the skin on your face, lips lack oil glands, which means they don’t produce natural moisture. This is why it is essential to hydrate and protect them using the right natural lip care products.

The Basics of a Natural Lip Care Routine

1. Exfoliation:

Exfoliation is an important step in your lip care routine. It helps remove dead skin cells and prevents dryness and chapping. To keep your lips soft, exfoliate once or twice a week. Using a gentle natural scrub is ideal. Shankara’s Lip Scrub is an excellent option as it combines natural ingredients like sugar, honey, and essential oils to scrub away dry skin while nourishing the lips.

2. Hydration:

Your lips need to stay hydrated to remain soft and supple. Moisturizing is the key to keeping your lips in top condition. Shankara’s Lip Balm is formulated with natural oils like shea butter, jojoba oil, and coconut oil. These ingredients deeply hydrate and lock in moisture, creating a protective barrier against the elements. Apply it generously to your lips before bed to wake up to soft, smooth lips.

3. Protection:

Just like your skin, your lips are exposed to sun damage, which can cause dryness, darkening, and cracking. Therefore, it’s essential to protect them from harmful UV rays. Shankara’s Lip Balm with SPF offers dual protection. It hydrates your lips while protecting them from the sun’s harmful rays, ensuring they stay healthy in the summer and beyond.

Building Your Seasonal Lip Care Routine

Winter Lip Care Routine:

Winter weather can cause your lips to become dry, cracked, and chapped. Cold temperatures and indoor heating systems often strip moisture away from the lips. During this season, hydration is key.

• Step 1: Exfoliate Start with a gentle exfoliation using Shankara’s Lip Scrub. Exfoliate in circular motions to remove flaky skin and reveal fresh, soft lips.
  

• Step 2: Hydrate After exfoliation, follow up with Shankara’s Lip Balm. The rich, moisturizing ingredients such as shea butter and vitamin E will nourish your lips and restore moisture.
  

• Step 3: Overnight Care Apply a thick layer of lip balm before bed to allow your lips to heal overnight. This extra layer will help to repair any damage caused by the cold, leaving you with smooth lips in the morning.

Summer Lip Care Routine:

In summer, your lips are exposed to more sun, which can cause them to dry out and darken. The key is to moisturize and protect them from harmful UV rays.

• Step 1: Exfoliate Exfoliation is just as important in the summer to ensure that your lips don’t get clogged with sweat and sunscreen. Use Shankara’s Lip Scrub gently to buff away any dead skin.
  

• Step 2: Moisturize and Protect After exfoliation, apply Shankara’s Lip Balm with SPF. The added sun protection ensures that your lips stay safe from UV rays while also providing long-lasting moisture. This is especially important if you spend time outdoors.
  

• Step 3: Reapply Throughout the Day Heat and sun can dehydrate your lips quickly. For best results, reapply your lip balm as needed throughout the day to maintain hydration and sun protection.

Monsoon Lip Care Routine:

The monsoon season brings humidity, which can make your lips prone to excess moisture, leading to irritation and uneven texture. A gentle, balanced routine is essential.

• Step 1: Exfoliate Exfoliate your lips once or twice a week to prevent buildup of any excess moisture and to keep your lips soft and even.
  

• Step 2: Hydrate During monsoon, hydration is important but needs to be light. Use Shankara’s Lip Balm, which provides just the right amount of moisture without making your lips feel too greasy or heavy.
  

• Step 3: Protection Even though it’s not as hot as summer, your lips still need protection from rain and wind. A thin layer of lip balm will help protect and lock in moisture while shielding against the elements.

Spring Lip Care Routine:

Spring brings a refreshing change in the air, but with it, you may find your lips becoming dry due to pollen and allergens. To combat this, you need a balanced lip care routine.

• Step 1: Exfoliate Start with Shankara’s Lip Scrub to exfoliate and reveal fresh lips. This will help with any buildup from pollen or other allergens that may have caused irritation.
  

• Step 2: Hydrate After exfoliating, use Shankara’s Lip Balm to restore moisture to your lips. Its lightweight formula ensures your lips stay hydrated without feeling too thick.
  

• Step 3: Daily Care Make sure to apply lip balm in the morning before you step out, as spring winds and allergens can dry your lips. Reapply as necessary throughout the day.
