Q&A for How to Get Soft Lips

There are two effective methods. One is making a simple scrub with oil and sugar and rubbing it gently or the lips. The other is to use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently slough off dead skin.

Drink plenty of water and apply a thin layer of coconut oil before going to bed at night. You should also wear a lip balm during the day if they feel dry. If you'll be out in the sun, select one with SPF.

Chapped lips are dry. To fix the problem you'll need to hydrate your lips with an emollient product that helps trap your natural moisture. You can also exfoliate gently with a soft-bristle toothbrush to remove the flaking skin.

The best way to make your lips look lighter and brighter is to exfoliate. Try a simple DIY scrub of olive oil and sugar.

Unfortunately, golden syrup is not a substitute for honey. This is because golden syrup doesn't have the same moisturizing properties as honey.

For most people, it takes a few weeks to see results. To keep your soft lips, you'll need to continue drinking plenty of water and eating well. However, you likely won't need to use lip balm as much.

For some people, EOS is amazing, but other people may have allergic reactions and have the chapstick do more harm than good. It is kind of a toss up.

If you consistently follow these steps and avoid things that damage your lips, they will always be soft and smooth.

Follow the same instructions, they're not gender-specific and lips don't know the difference. Just skip whatever doesn't fit with your lifestyle, perhaps like colored lipstick.

Yes it will. If you want immediate results (if in a hurry), use the toothbrush technique. It's temporary but helps.

Try exfoliating your lips, either with a DIY lip scrub or by brushing them with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Be sure to apply a moisturizing lip balm as well. Keep in mind that it might take a few days before you see any results.

Try wearing a bad-tasting lip balm, or distract yourself (like chewing gum). You should also stay hydrated, to prevent dryness. Drinking plenty of water helps.

That's what typically happens, because your lips get used to the chapstick being applied 24/7. If you skip for like a day, that's ok, but if you forget about doing this or you don't have time to do this, you can just apply chapstick and your lips will be just fine.

Make a loose fist, and practice where your thumb and index finger meet.

Try Shea butter mixed in with mint leaves. It helps give temporary and immediate relief to the lips!

No.

No, these are all natural and edible ingredients. You're okay.

Yes.

Dark lipstick can make your lips look slimmer. If you wanted something more intense, you could use lip liner to draw a slightly slimmer lip on top of your lip. Fill it in and apply foundation on the part of your lip that you don't want to show.

Yes, you don't need to do all the methods. Try one or two to see which works best for you, and try a different one if you seek better results.

If you want to stand out more, continue using these methods, then apply a bold lip color or gloss to make your lips pop.

Try a lip treatment that is designed to expand your lips.

Use moisturizing lipsticks and lip balms that contain SPF 15. They should help your lips.

No, it's not safe to ingest. Instead, get a lip balm with SPF in it.

You can make a lip scrub out of sugar and honey. It exfoliates your lips and makes them softer and less dry. Using pure sugar will not do very much to help your lips.

Yes, you can, but it may not be as effective as a fresher lip balm would be.

No. Your lips will be the same color as before, and these methods will not damage them in any way.

Yes, it's fine. But if you do want to make it thinner, try adding a little more olive oil.

Avoid over-exfoliating and stay away from lip balms that contain mint or eucalyptus, as those can be known to irritate lips.

It depends on your preference, but something with shea butter is a great option.
