Lips are frequently overlooked in skincare routines, yet they are commonly adorned with glosses, balms, and lipsticks. However, when they become dry and chapped, they demand attention. They are a prominent aspect of facial expression, enabling communication, conveying emotions, and serving as the gateway to your beautiful smile.

Unlike the skin on our bodies, lips lack sweat or sebaceous glands, making them unable to sweat or moisturize naturally. Consequently, they can become dry and chapped due to dehydration. However, similar to facial skin, lips need care to maintain their best appearance. Therefore, if you aim to enhance your smile, consider these useful tips to nurture your beautiful lips.

Exfoliation

Similar to body skin, lips can experience dryness, flaking, and peeling, leading to a rough and uncomfortable feel. Exfoliating your lips is simple and can be done daily upon waking or before bedtime using either your toothbrush or a homemade sugar and almond oil scrub. Combine a small amount of both ingredients, gently massage onto your lips, rinse, pat dry, and enjoy their refreshed appearance.

Hydration

If your lips are feeling parched, a quick fix is to hydrate with plenty of water. You can boost your hydration by enjoying water-packed foods or sipping on plain H2O for that dewy lip glow!

Nourishment

Like the rest of our skin, our lips crave nourishment too! Treat them to a nutrient-packed mask, perfect for replenishing what they can't produce on their own. Make bedtime a pampering ritual with Janssen Cosmetics' Goodnight Lip Mask, crafted to revive your lips' moisture and enhance their softness.

Humidify

Embrace the magic of a humidifier, especially during chilly winter spells when dry air prevails. Let it work its wonders, filling your indoor spaces with moisture that your skin and delicate membranes crave. Say goodbye to parched skin and hello to comfort! For an instant boost, try steaming your lips during a relaxing hot shower or while sipping on a warm beverage.

Don't overlook the power of lip care! Treat them right for that extra touch of radiance, helping you flaunt your best smile with confidence!

Many are looking for the fountain of youth through the latest photo filters or even plastic surgery. But what many don’t know is that the secret to beautiful, long-lasting skin is a consistent regimen designed to protect your skin and keep it healthy. Janssen Cosmetics provides top of the line skincare products that leave your skin beautiful from the inside out. Here’s how you can incorporate our products into your daily routine:  

Cleansing

Cleansing is the first and most important step in your skincare regimen. Without it, you are just asking for a breakout to happen. This is especially important if you wear makeup on a daily basis. You need a clean slate free of oil and dirt to be able to absorb subsequent products properly. Opt for a gentle cleanser that won’t strip away the natural oils from your face. Make sure to wash your face twice daily.

Some products to consider:

• Mild Creamy Cleanser. Excellent cleanser for dry skin. It is thorough, helps retain moisture, and leaves your skin feeling clean.
• Clarifying Cleansing Gel. Mild cleansing gel for oily skin. It is specially formulated to tackle excess oil, inflammation, spots, and blackheads.

Toning

Toners are the next products you might want to reach for after you cleanse your face. Contrary to popular belief, toners are actually very gentle on the skin, and they don’t shrink pores. They provide you with a bit of initial hydration and further prime your skin to absorb other products later on. Unlike the other steps in the process, toners are optional. They used to be needed back when facial cleansers were too basic or harsh on the skin. Toners helped bring the skin’s pH back to normal. Nowadays, cleansers are well-formulated enough that toners aren’t as necessary anymore.

Some products to consider:

• Radiant Firming Tonic. Helps to smooth out the appearance of your skin and refine your pores. You can use this toner and be confident that your skin is ready to face whatever comes next.
• Purifying Tonic Lotion. Optimized for oily skin. It helps to prevent inflammation, blackheads, and excess oil production.

Exfoliating

At night, you also want to add in exfoliation as an extra step into your skincare process. While you might not realize it, your skin also has its own battles throughout the day. At the end of the day, it is filled with dead skin and clogged with impurities. The cleansing and exfoliating steps help to take this load off.

Some products to consider:

• Mild Face Rub. A mild peeling cream that gets rid of dirt, oil, and debris on the face for dry skin.
• Bio-Fruit Gel Exfoliator. Fruit acid peel that promotes new skin cell growth.

Moisturizing

The next absolutely essential step next is moisturizing. Like cleansing, you want to apply moisturizer twice daily, even if you have oily or acne-prone skin. It keeps your skin barrier healthy and lets the products you’ve applied before work their magic! If possible, apply moisturizer while your skin is still damp. This helps lock in extra hydration in addition to the hydration provided by the moisturizer itself.

Some products to consider:

• Day Vitalizer. Daily moisturizing cream that hydrates, smoothes, and protects dry skin.
• Clarifying Cream Gel. With this gel, those with oily skin can worry less about inflammation, oil, and blemishes.

Protecting

Last but not least, you want to seal the deal with sunscreen when finishing off your morning skincare routine. Sunscreen acts like a shield for your face, preventing UV rays from penetrating through. This is also a non-negotiable step. Sunscreen is vital to the longevity and health of your skin. It helps prevent skin cancer and premature aging down the line.

Some products to consider:

• Face Guard Advanced. Although this is an emulsion and not technically a sunscreen, it protects all skin types from UVA, UVB, IR, oxidative stress, photoaging, and many more.
• Sun Shield SPF 30. Sunscreen with SPF 30 that protects skin from UVA and UVB rays.
