Instructions

How to Keep Your Lips Looking Good for Men

1. 

   Drink plenty of water. Our bodies are made primarily of water, so drinking adequate amounts leads to improved health and a good complexion. Adequate water intake also keeps your lips moist and lubricated. Drink at least eight glasses per day, and more if you exercise.

2. 

   Brush dry skin off your lips with a dry, soft-bristled toothbrush. This will remove dead, flaky skin and leave a smooth surface.

3. 

   Pamper your lips with lip balm, especially a version that contains sunscreen. The skin on your lips is very thin and doesn't contain oil glands like the rest of your body, which is why your lips can dry out and chap easily. Wear balm every day, alone or with lipstick.

4. 

   Use lip plumpers. These are products that promise to temporarily give your lips a fuller look. Lip-plumping products are applied before lipstick and use mild irritants to make the skin on your lips swell slightly. Plumpers can minimize the appearance of fine lines in addition to giving your lips that popular "bee-stung" look.

5. 

   Wear lipstick. Choose a color that you like instead of what you think a man will approve of. When you wear a color that you know looks good on you, you'll feel confident, which makes you more attractive.

Tips & Warnings

• Choose lipsticks that complement your skin tone for the most flattering look: "cool" (blue-based) tones for a pinkier complexion, and "warm" (orange-based) tones for more olive skins.

• Don't lick your lips if they feel dry. Your saliva evaporates, taking more moisture with it--which can lead to chapping.
