So whether you get a whole 30 minutes in front of your vanity or are sprinting out the door, your color-kissed, super soft lips will be just the statement you need.

1. Exfoliate<\/span><\/h2>\n

Nothing makes lipstick application hard and kissing even harder than chapped lips! Exfoliating with the Savvy Minerals\u00ae Poppy Seed Lip Scrub<\/a> will buff away dry and dead skin. Use a couple of times a week and you\u2019ll look fantastic going bare or rocking a red-carpet lip!<\/p>\n

How to use:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

a. Apply a pea-sized amount to your lips.
\nb. Massage in small, circular motions.
\nc. Remove with a warm, damp washcloth.
\nd. Follow with a lip-softening product (keep reading for our picks!).<\/p>\n

No Poppy Seed Lip Scrub on hand? Use a soft-bristled toothbrush or damp washcloth instead!<\/p>\n<\/div>

2. Catch some beauty sleep<\/span><\/h2>\n

Want to look and feel your best? There\u2019s no way to cheat; you\u2019ve just got to get some good sleep<\/a>! When your body is at rest, your blood can more easily flow, which is essential to supple, glowing skin. Take hydration to the max by applying an ultra-moisturizing product after you brush your teeth at night and letting it soak into your lips while you sleep.<\/p>\n

For a skin-soothing treatment, we recommend Savvy Minerals\u00ae Lip Luxe\u2122<\/a>! It\u2019s not just the ultra-hydrating gloss you need on top of your go-to lipstick like we\u2019ll talk about below, but the lip-loving lottery. Packed with 19 oils like jojoba, sunflower, and shea, this secret weapon is a makeup must, must, must!<\/p>\n<\/div>

3. Make clean choices<\/span><\/h2>\n

You wouldn\u2019t drink toxic chemicals, so why would you put them on your lips? Don\u2019t risk ingesting ingredients like silicone and formaldehyde; get keen on clean makeup<\/a> instead! Just like every other product in this post, the Lavender Lip Balm<\/a> is full of everything that\u2019s good and free of what\u2019s fake. With ingredients like coconut oil, beeswax, and rose hip seed oil, your lips will be healthy and happy in no time!<\/p>\n<\/div>

4. Hydrate from the inside out<\/span><\/h2>\n

Truth be told, the smoothness of your delicate lips has a lot to do with how hydrated you are. Drinking lots of water<\/a>, and avoiding excessive amounts of caffeine and alcohol, will ensure your lips are always ready for shimmers and smooches.<\/p>\n<\/div>

5. Throw shade<\/span><\/h2>\n

Maybe you fall hard for every shade on the color spectrum. Or maybe you aspire to be a French \u201cit girl\u201d and stick to a signature shade. Whatever lipstick journey you\u2019re on, here are some options we think all cosmetic queens will adore.<\/p>\n
