Lip & Under-Eye Care – Pamper the Most Delicate Parts of Your Face This Winter

During the winter season, your lips and under-eye area are the first to show signs of dryness, fatigue, and dehydration. These areas have thinner skin and fewer oil glands, which means they lose moisture faster than the rest of your face. Giving them special care helps maintain a soft, youthful, and refreshed look even in harsh cold weather. 

 Lip & Under-Eye Care Is Important in Winter

• Prevents chapped, cracked, and painful lips caused by cold winds.
• Reduces dark circles, puffiness, and dryness around the eyes.
• Keeps these sensitive areas moist, smooth, and wrinkle-free.
• Enhances your overall facial glow and expression.

A few minutes of lip and eye care every day can make your winter skin look effortlessly healthy and radiant.

Lip Care Routine for Winter

1. Gentle Exfoliation

• Exfoliate lips once or twice a week to remove dry, flaky skin.
• Use a soft lip scrub or make your own with:
  • 1 tsp sugar + 1 tsp honey + a few drops of coconut oil.
• Massage gently for 1 minute, then wipe off and apply balm.

Apply a wet soft toothbrush to gently scrub lips in circular motions — it improves blood flow and softness.

2. Deep Moisturization

• Use lip balms or oils rich in natural moisturizers like:
  • Shea butter
  • Coconut oil
  • Almond oil
  • Beeswax
  • Vitamin E
• Apply balm multiple times a day, especially before stepping outdoors and before bed.

Avoid licking your lips — it worsens dryness by evaporating moisture.

3. Overnight Lip Care

• Before sleeping, apply a thick layer of honey or milk cream (malai).
• Let it sit overnight for deep hydration and baby-soft lips by morning.
• You can also use a lip sleeping mask with hyaluronic acid or ceramides.

Bonus: Hydrating Lip Diet

Eat foods rich in Vitamin E, C, and healthy fats (nuts, seeds, citrus fruits) to naturally maintain moisture and prevent cracking from within.

Under-Eye Care Routine for Winter

1. Gentle Cleansing

• Always remove makeup before bed using micellar water or coconut oil.
• Be gentle — rubbing too hard can cause wrinkles and dark circles.

2. Moisturizing Eye Cream or Gel

• Use a hydrating under-eye cream with ingredients like:
  • Caffeine (reduces puffiness)
  • Vitamin E (repairs and smooths)
  • Hyaluronic Acid (hydrates)
  • Aloe Vera (soothes dryness)
• Apply with your ring finger — it applies the least pressure. Tap gently, don’t rub.

3. DIY Natural Remedies

1. Cucumber Slices: Place chilled cucumber slices for 10 minutes to soothe and brighten.
2. Aloe Vera Gel: Apply a thin layer before bed to hydrate and reduce puffiness.
3. Almond Oil: Massage 1–2 drops gently under your eyes every night for soft, smooth skin.
4. Green Tea Bags: Chill used tea bags and place them on your eyes for 10 minutes — reduces swelling and dark circles.

Night Care Tip

• Keep your bedroom humidified and sleep for at least 7–8 hours to avoid under-eye fatigue.
• Elevate your head slightly with a pillow to prevent morning puffiness.
