Dressing up for weddings anytime of the year can be a stressful affair, but for winter weddings even more so, thanks to the extra TLC your skin needs to look dewy and radiant in harsh weather. And though we tend to focus most of our attention on our face, sloughing away dead skin cells with serums and plumping it with rich moisturisers, our lips sometimes don’t get as much care.
Winter brings the worst out of our lips, with cold winds and chilly temperatures making them extremely dry and chapped. To combat this, first exfoliate with a gentle scrub, dab a lip-oil or serum, and apply a generous amount of a thick, hydrating lip mask or balm to seal the moisture. During the day, don’t forget to slather a lip balm with SPF to avoid pigmentation. Of course, if you want a fuller pout, a lip maximiser serum like the one by Dior or a plumping treatment like the Clinique Moisture Surge Lip-Hydro Plumping Treatment will do the trick.
These simple steps added into your routine a few weeks before your big day will ensure that your lips stay (and look!) super soft and smooth. After all, it’s important to remember that even the most hydrating lipsticks can amplify any cracks or dryness on your lips.
