Your lips are cracked and peeling.

Hi ,
Your lips are dry. Cracked. Peeling. Rough texture.
You're in meetings, and people are staring at your lips instead of listening to your words.
Dry lips make you look dehydrated, sick, and neglected.
The 2-day fix:
Today: Buy a good lip balm. Not cheap dollar store stuff. Something that actually moisturizes.
Apply every two hours all day today. Before bed tonight, apply thick lip treatment.
Tomorrow: Continue every two hours. Drink twice as much water as usual.
By Saturday, your lips will be smooth.
Stop doing this:
Licking your lips. Makes them drier. Saliva evaporates and takes moisture with it.
Skipping lip balm. Dry air won't fix itself.
Using lipstick without balm underneath. Dries them out more.
Start doing this:
Lip balm in the morning before makeup.
Reapply every two hours throughout the day.
Thick lip treatment before bed every night.
Drink more water. Dry lips mean your whole body needs water.
Put lip balm in three places today.
Your bag. Your desk. Your car.
Keep it accessible so you remember to reapply.
December is full of talking:
Client presentations where you're speaking.
Networking events where you're having conversations.
Holiday parties where you're talking all night.
Family gatherings where you're catching up with people.
Your words are important. Make sure people hear them instead of staring at your dry, cracked lips.
To your best image,
Funke Roberts 🧡
P.S. Next week is Christmas and New Year's. Your lips will be in every photo. Get them smooth now.
