Odds are you go to great lengths to help your facial skin look and feel its best—but what have you done for your lips lately? This delicate area requires extra TLC thanks to super-thin skin, lack of oil glands (so the lips can’t self-moisturize) and lots of movement that can eventually lead to lines and wrinkles. As if that weren’t enough, you probably skip your lips when you slather sunscreen all over the rest of your face. Now are you convinced that your lips deserve a little extra attention? These products can help keep your lips soft, smooth, plump and pillowy…
