Lip care routine for pigmented lips

Your lips and how it looks speak a lot about how well you keep yourself. Chapped dry lips can appear very unappealing. This can be due to lifestyle choices like smoking or sometimes even due to the products that you use.

In this article, we will be sharing an effective lip care routine. Use it and get lips that look pink and healthy.

Exfoliate

Exfoliating helps in removing the dead skin which sits on the lips whilst removing the pigmentation.
