When it comes to beauty, you might not think that the mouth is all that important. The focus is often on beautiful eyes, healthy skin, and stunning hair. But people’s eyes are often drawn to your mouth. When you smile, when you talk, people will look at your mouth and lips.
It seems like a small thing, but it’s a huge part of your look and beauty. After all, everyone wants a lovely smile. So, here, are some ways to make your lips, mouth, and smile more beautiful.
Take Care of Your Teeth
Dental and oral health are important to your general well-being and your beauty. Missing or misaligned teeth can make it harder to talk or eat and can make you incredibly self-conscious every time you smile. You’re also more prone to infections and abscesses, as it’s harder to clean your teeth.
Dental problems don’t just go away on their own. As well as keeping your teeth clean and healthy yourself by regularly brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash, you should also go to the dentist for a professional clean and checkup.
As well as keeping your teeth as healthy as possible, a dentist can also correct issues such as missing, misaligned, or discoloured teeth. This means that your smile can be restored to what it should be.
Looking After Your Lips
As well as your teeth, people’s eyes will be drawn to your lips. Unfortunately, some people suffer from chapped or dry lips, which can be uncomfortable and don’t look fantastic. Chapped lips are caused by several factors, including cold weather, colds, hay fever, dehydration, and even simply being run down. You might also be more prone to chapped lips or dry skin due to genetic factors.
This isn’t a major issue, but it can lead to cracked lips and even bleeding, as well as irritated skin. Thankfully, it’s a relatively easy fix. Lip balms using beeswax or other ingredients can moisturize the skin and protect your lips from further damage.
Some lip balms can also include SPF to protect your skin from sun damage. You can also get flavoured lip balm so you enjoy it more. Use lip balm when needed, and ideally keep some with you at all times so you can quickly apply it when on the go.
Makeup
Finally, if you want to make your smile stand out, use some makeup as a finishing touch. The classic option is some bright lipstick to really draw the eye to your mouth. This can work as part of a full face or even a way to glam or rock up your daily look.
Another option is to use a more natural shade or even stick to lip gloss. The lipstick is less obvious, but your lips will look far nicer. Again, keep some lipstick or lip gloss with you to replenish it during the day. A long-lasting lipstick might not need this, but it’s still handy to have with you.
