The skin of the lip has three to five cellular layers and hence is very delicate.Another interesting fact about lip skin is that it does not have any sebaceous glands.For these reasons, the lips dry out faster and become chapped more easily.Lip has a lot of nerve endings and therefore is very sensitive.Since lip skin is so delicate it has a tendency to shrink and thin with age.Smoking and aging process has its toll on the lips and lip lines develop giving a very aged and older look to appearance.In fact healthy full lips take off years from your appearance.Only a few simple steps ensure that you have a young and healthy look because of your lips.

Now let us have a look at these lip care  steps.

1. The most important point is to remember is that dry skin cause wrinkles- more so in case of delicate lip skin.So keep your skin hydrated and supple by drinking sufficient amount of water.Excessive intake of coffee and tea has dehydrating effect.So cut down on those.You can consider taking vitamin E supplement to keep your skin soft and supple.

3.

Scrub your lips with a light hand with this brush.Wash off and again apply lip balm.
4. If you are the kind of person who spends a lot of time exposed to the UV ray of the sun remembers to use a lip balm with SPF.

You are my Father

I will not look at this as a goodbye.

I will not allow the sorrow of this event to destroy me.

I will embrace what you have taught me through the

years and carry that with me.

You have not died. You will forever be a part of my life,

and through me you will forever be a part of my

children's as well. We are your legacy.

I am proud to have had you in their lives.

I hope they inherit your charm, your good nature, and your

charisma. I know with your influence they will grow to

become good men.

You have raised me to the best of your ability

and for that I want to thank you.

Thank you for being kind, thank you for being stronger than

you know, and most of all, thank you for loving us.

You have inspired me to live life to the fullest,

and never back down.

I will not be taken over by the anger and

frustration of your loss.

Instead, I will remember the days when I was young

and you were my hero.

I will see you in my dreams.

There you will forever be healthy and strong.

In time, I hope to embrace your freedom, freedom from the

pain, and freedom from the weight of your illness.

Sorrow is inevitable, but I will face this with the same

courage you did, because I am you, and you are my Father.

Always your daughter, Farah . . .
