Winters makes your skin dry, chapped and peeling. Putting on makeup especially lipstick becomes a tough task. Especially if you live in a place that has extreme weather conditions you must be extra careful about your lips and it is recommended that you avoid a few makeup products during winters if you love your skin. However, when it comes to wearing lipsticks, here are few things you might want to keep in mind while applying it during winters.

1. Exfoliation is the key but make sure you exfoliate the right way, right before applying your lipstick. Use natural moisturisers like shea butter to exfoliate your lips. Simply apply shea butter to your lips, wait for a few minutes and rub it off with a towelette or tissue. You may also use dedicated lip scrubs for that.

2. Do not touch matte lipstick. Applying matte lipstick during winters is the biggest mistake you can make as it will dry up your lips even further. Instead, opt for glossy lipstick or better yet, try tinted lip balms.

3. If you really want to use your favourite matte lipstick, just apply little vaseline or shea butter on your lips and then apply your matte lipstick.

4. If you are fond of liquid lipsticks opt for ones with a moisturising base to give a perfect finish because even the liquid lipsticks tend to steal away moisture from your lips.

5. Opt for darker shades during winters. This is because darker shades are known suit you better during winters when your skin gets pale and also darker shades hide chapped lips better than lighter shades.

6. Avoid glitter lipsticks during winters as glitter lipsticks tend to make your lips dry and flaky.

7. Do not store your lipsticks in the freezer during winters as it becomes extremely difficult to smoothly apply lipstick that is chilled. Store it at room temperature.
