Don’t get caught out with dry lips like I did!

OK, I was coming back from swimming, so it was kind of inevitable that my skin was going to be drier than normal.

The rules:
- Use a lip buffer or a toothbrush to take off dead skin.
- Use a lip salve, namely: Vaseline, The Body Shops Shea Lip Butter or Bobbi Browns lip treatment.
- Apply your base colour.
- Use a high shine lip gloss: Spikes favourites are: Boots NO.7 Lip Gloss and Clinique’s Superbalm Moisturising Gloss.

…And away you go!

It is a bit of long process; that is why I’ve called it a service. If you do these simple steps each time you reapply your lipstick during the day, your lips will stand the test of time and the harsh weather constraints leaving you looking and feeling pout-tastic.
