The beauty and aptitude of eyes to put across, beholder's attitude towards outside world have been praised all through the centuries. Eyes express the true emotions of its beholders even before they try to hide it. However there is good news for today's generation who want to appear unique in each aspect of life and try the latest styles in fashion.
Your lips are one of the sensitive parts in your body. However being exposed to the open air and many beauty treatments, they may lack their natural charm. It first occurs as the loss of the elasticity of lips, due to aging. The exposure to sun and the open air may also make them dry and chapped.

The lip caring formula in the lip conditioners hydrates, comforts and protects your lips, day and night. Majority of the lip conditioners include SPF 15 sunscreen plus Vitamins C and E. These ingredients protect your lips from UVA/UVB rays of sun. The firming techniques in the lip conditioners ensure the elasticity of the lips for a fuller look.
Most of the lip conditioners contain shea butter that hydrates, smoothes and soothes the lips. This lightweight conditioner for the lip is invariably formulated with SPF 15. This ingredient protects the lips from mild aggressions. Unlike many of the other lip creams, lip conditioners hold in moisture and provide gentle repair to dry lips.
Lip conditioners are usually colour free. In that case, those who hesitate to add colour to their charming lips, can use it. Lip conditioners are coming in a variety of flavours like vanilla, strawberry, chocolate etc. The main ingredients of lip conditioners are almond oil, shea butter, avocado extract, wheat germ oil, vitamins A and E.

The method to wear lip conditioners requires no special talent. You can wear lip conditioners under lipstick as a moisturizing base coat. If you are not comfortable with lip conditioners while going out, wear it overnight as an intensive moisture treatment. Now, condition your lips as never before!
