Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

wash cloth
vasoline
lip balm (I prefer Regeneration Gold Lip Therapy by BeautiControl)

Step1

Generously apply a layer of Vaseline to lips.

Step2

Use a warm, damp wash cloth to scrub lips in a side to side motion for a minute or two until any dry skin is gently exfoliated away. Repeat approximately once or twice a week or as necessary.

Step3

Apply lip balm throughout the day to help protect lips from sun and wind damage.

on 1/9/2008 I think this works better with something that does not contain petroleum.

on 1/6/2008 hi there! yes, adding you as my friend. liked your quote, picture and articles that i read, will get back to them when i have more time. just a suggestion to your article: Carmex works better than vaseline, containing salicylic acid and resorcinol, both chemical (albeit mild in this formula) exfoliaters. After one or two days, you can resume your daily lip product. My favorites is Bryant Rushing Lip Remodeling Treatment and an ancient formula called Rose Balm.
