Instructions

• STEP 1: Apply lip balm or petroleum jelly. You can also try coating your lips
with skin moisturizer, vitamin E oil or aloe vera gel. These greasy products help
keep your lips properly moisturized.
• STEP 2: Use lip balm that contains sunblock if you are going to be outside.
• STEP 3: Avoid licking your lips, since the saliva will evaporate and leave them
dry.
• STEP 4: Drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration.
• STEP 5: Consider moistening the air in your home with a humidifier.
• STEP 6: Keep in mind that cracks at the corners of your mouth can indicate
riboflavin deficiencies; you can treat this with vitamin B-2 supplements.
• STEP 7: Have a dentist readjust ill-fitting dentures if you believe they might be
the cause of your chapped lips.

Tips & Warnings

• Before applying lipstick, dab on a very small amount of lip balm or petroleum
jelly to give your lips a little moisture.
• Severely cracked lips can become infected. Use over-the-counter antibiotic
ointments to guard against this.
• If symptoms persist or if you have specific medical conditions or concerns, we
recommend you contact a physician. This information is not intended as a

How to Apply Lipstick and Lip Liner

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Lipstick adds the final touch to any makeup application. Lining the lips creates subtle
definition and perfects the shape of the lips.

Instructions

• STEP 1: Consider your lipstick color and finish. You'll do well with colors that
match the natural shade of your lips, opting for darker tones that complement your
overall coloring. Matte lipsticks offer a muted finish complementary to workday
makeup, while satin and gloss finishes offer appealing evening looks.
