Whether you’re planning to kiss someone special at midnight on New Year’s Eve or just want to have fuller and plumper lips at the start of 2022, you need to prepare now. Having a regular lip care routine can do wonders, as well as giving your pout the attention and care it deserves.
Here are some tips on getting your lips ready for the New Year:
Restore some shine and softness onto your pout by gently exfoliating your lips. This helps remove dry, flaking skin and increase blood flow to the area, giving your lips a plumper appearance. Exfoliating dead skin cells also reveals fresher and smoother skin underneath, which allows for an even lipstick application that is likely to last longer.
There are many ways to do this, but make sure not to scrub aggressively to avoid irritating or damaging the delicate skin. Here are a few tips for exfoliating your lips.
When buying a new lip balm, make sure to choose a product that can moisturize and soothe dry lips. Petroleum jelly-based products are a good choice, as they create a protective barrier and lock in moisture. Those that contain SPF, shea butter, beeswax, and vitamin E are also great for your lips. Just be sure to avoid flavored ones or those that contain mint or menthol.
The same goes for lipsticks or glosses. If you have dry lips, a creamier, hydrating formula is better than matte lipstick. The latter contains less oil and more wax, which can then dry out your pout or make dry lips worse. For lip glosses, be sure to find one that is non-sticky.
When it comes to lip plumper glosses, you need to be aware that they can also dry out your lips. This is because they contain ingredients that intentionally irritate the delicate skin of your mouth. It then causes the blood to rush to that area and cause a bit of swelling, creating a plumper appearance. Using such products regularly can lead to rashes, drying, and flakiness.
Neglecting them (or not having a proper lip care routine) can sometimes contribute to dryness or chapped lips. Here are some of the habits that can lead to chapped lips or exacerbate lip dryness.
Lip fillers can give you a plumper, fuller, and more kissable pout this coming New Year. These injectables are ideal if you have naturally thin lips, are noticing lines and volume loss changes due to aging, or just want to improve the overall appearance of your lips.

To achieve natural-looking results with fillers, make sure to only see a skilled or an experienced injector. Do take note that filler injection is a process that requires both the skill and artistry of the injector to achieve a natural look. Avoid salons and spas, as well as a provider who offers to administer the treatment in a non-clinical setting.
