For those with sensitive skin, even your lips can be affected by the wrong products, so make sure to perform a patch test first to check for any kind of reaction.
Start by gently exfoliating your lips once a week using a soft, damp washcloth or a mild, natural lip scrub made with ingredients like honey and sugar. This will remove dead skin cells without irritating your sensitive skin. Then, use a gentle fragrance-free lip balm to hydrate and protect your lips.
As sensitive skin can be prone to irritation around the mouth, line your lips with a smooth lip liner to prevent any potential irritants from spreading beyond your lip line.
For lipstick and lip crayons, look for hydrating ingredients to combat dryness, and check that they’re free from common irritants and allergens. Apply your chosen lip colour carefully, starting from the centre of your lips and working outwards. If you experience any tingling or discomfort, remove the product immediately and cleanse your lips.
Finally, you can add a touch of fragrance-free lip gloss if you prefer a shiny finish. Apply this sparingly to the centre of your lips to minimise potential irritation.
