Secret Model Beauty: Dry Flaky Lips

The Best Makeup, Skin Care, Hair, Fitness, and Diet Tips: Dry Flaky Lips

Dry cracked lips are usually a sign of dehydration and could also be caused by harsh weather. No picture can be pretty with a cracked pucker. The way to treat needy lips is to coat them with petroleum jelly, then leave it on for about 10 minutes to soften. Next use a warm damp washcloth to rub away the dead skin cells. Lastly, use another coat of lip balm on your kisser.

Pro Tips

Piper Hinson – Model/Actress/Muscian

“One of the best tricks I’ve learned through the years to keep my skin looking gorgeous is using rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab instead of an expensive toner. That’s right, I said it — Rubbing alcohol! Everything else (I.E. putting on makeup) will be easier with a clear foundation. Every night, I also wash my day’s makeup off with a bar soap.” “Acne and pimples are caused by bacteria and dead skin cells clogging pores.

Rubbing alcohol removes all of this and allows your skin to be totally dry and free of any germys! Therefore, keeping your pores “clean and clear and under control!” Your skin type will determine whether or not you need to put on a moisturizer after.”

“Makeup artists always RAVE about my skin, and it’s all due to this practice! (and staying out of the sun)”

Alex Noiret – Model

“For glowing, clear skin, I wash my face at least three times a day with ice cold water. Occasionally, I will use some Neutrogena “heat glow,” a soft soft scrub which I’m able to use hot water with. This opens the pores to allow the chemicals to work, but I ALWAYS splash/rinse with ice cold water. I also always wear sunscreen and watch what I eat by staying away from greasy foods for clear healthy skin.”

“Protect your eyes! Sunglasses and eye cream with SPF are key when it comes to avoiding sun damage. Signs of aging are most noticeable in the eye area. Many young women don’t include eye cream in their beauty regime…yet, moisturizing the eyes is just as important as the face. I use a hydrating eye cream every night before bed and one with SPF every morning before I leave the house.”
