LIP SCRUBS FOR THE BEST KISSES

No one wants them and as Caribbean women they’re likely to trouble us more, but luckily chapped lips are a cinch to fix. Here’s what you need to know to properly exfoliate them and keep them smooth.

What to use:

Get you a soft toothbrush and if your like me and have particularly sensitive skin, a children’s toothbrush will work best. Keep this one specifically for this purpose, not to be mixed up with your usual as you don't want to contaminate it with any bacteria.

The fun part:

Get yourself a lip scrub of your choice if your from Trinidad try Wonderful world. If your a cheapo and do it yourself like me you can make your own at home by mixing bicarbonate soda with a small amount of water to create a paste, or try brown sugar mixed with coconut oil.

How:

Apply your chosen scrub to lips or toothbrush, then with your toothbrush use a circular motion firmly, but not to rough. A good scrub will contain moisturizing as well as exfoliating agents so let the scrub absorb into your lips by leaving on for a minute or so. Use a damp wash cloth to wash off.

How often:

In the Caribbean you will likely want to do this more often but any more than twice a week can be risky. The skin on your lips is delicate, so you shouldn’t be applying the same rules as you would to the rest of your body or you risk exacerbating the original problem.

Foundation Tips

As Caribbean women some of us suffer from highly oil skin or highly dry skin that sometimes alters the look we intented. This post is aimed to assist you in tips and tricks in dealing with these types of skin.

First step is finding the right shade of foundation.
Second step is finding the right brand.
Third step is knowing the availability of your chosen brand.

Choosing the right brand of foundation is critical as some foundations are more oil based than others. Personal experiences thought me that an oily foundation can not only destroy your makeup look but cause major acne and clogged pores.
