Lip Gloss-The Forgotten Solution

 

The correct lip gloss not only lends a moisturizing effect to your lips, but also increases the beauty of the underlying liquid lip color. Learn how to eliminate chapped lips forever and the annoying habit of licking your lips in the attempt to add some moisture to your lips.

The cosmetic market is crowded with a multitude of lip gloss choices. Not all are beneficial to the moisturizing of your lips. Cream based lip glosses, for example, will dry out your lips and this is the last thing you want to do to moisturize and hydrate your lips.

What you need to find is a lip gloss that comes in a variety of finish choices such as: gloss, matte and pearl. The best lip glosses also come in a wide variety of colors ranging from blue based to a more toned down yellow based gloss. Applying colored glosses you can do double duty-add some attractive color to your lips and moisturize all in one application.

So you should consider using lip gloss as an integral part of your makeup to give color to your lips and as a moisturizer to hydrate your lips.

Ingredients in lip gloss can contain glycerin, aloe and possibly Vitamin E. All fall short in properly moisturizing your lips. The best basic lip gloss ingredient, in the opinion of many experts, is highly refined shea butter.

Shea butter is found in sub-tropical Africa. It is extracted from the nut of the Shea-Karite tree. The nuts from the Shea-Karite have a high content of irremovable fatty acid. It is this irremovable fatty acid that gives Shea Butter its unique healing properties and makes it far superior to cocoa butter and other vegetable butters. Refined Shea Butter is an all natural product.

Shea butter has been found by physicians to be beneficial in the treatment of the skin of burn victims. These same healing qualities in a lip gloss will eliminate chapped lips, and properly moisturize your lips.

Making the right selection in a lip gloss will take care of your lips and make them appear smooth, soft and kissable. A favorite makeup approach for many women is to apply long lasting lip color and then use a lip gloss based on highly refined Shea Butter for it moisturizing qualities.

The best long lasting liquid lip color, such a LipSense, is applied in three thin coats. This allows the Shea Butter based lip gloss to penetrate and perform their magic in moisturizing the lips.
