Page 1 of 2

Luscious lips are just one of the many male body parts women love. Color, size, texture, and warmth — these are all facets that appeal to the overall charm of a gentleman’s mouth. Well, that and a sensual tongue game. Still, that’s beside the point. A killer smile must only be matched with soft, supple lips. So unless you’re conditioning those chick magnets in proper fashion, don’t expect to score a hot date or plant a wet one on your late-night hookup anytime soon.

Chapped or damaged lips affect men of all ages and backgrounds. They’re unattractive and even hazardous to your health. And like other afflictions that substantially plague a person’s appearance such as male pattern baldness or bad breath, failure to protect your lips from any physical abuse or environmental irritants can only ruin your playboy image. Scary as it sounds, bachelors should breathe easy knowing there are effective and simple ways to sustaining a smoochable aura.

By now you’re well acclimated with one of the oldest tricks in the book, namely petroleum jelly. A good moisturizer will always get the job done too and these are just some of the market’s best lip balms available now. Both serve as solid solutions, but every man’s lip DNA is architected differently and requires either the right ingredients or treatment to achieve lip-locking supremacy.

Find out which ones best suit your oral fancy. From natural color reproduction to STD prevention, here are 14 easy tips and tricks to maintain kissable lips.

Buy A Lip Balm With Sunblock Features
Summertime is approaching. That means bikini-clad chicks, hot weather, and tons of sunscreen. Interestingly enough, a study by the University Of Texas Medical Branch Department Of Dermatology showed that only 37 percent of beachgoers that use sunscreen also apply lip protection. So when lathering up in sunblock, don’t forget to pull out a lip balm infused with sun protection because the damaging effects of the sun’s UV rays can lead to precancerous growths or a scaled rim.

Avoid Fruits And Juices With High Acidity Levels
As much as you love a cup of OJ in the morning or the occasional grapefruit in between meals, you might want to rethink your fruit intake. Citrus is a common lip allergen that can result in a phototoxic reaction. In Layman’s terms: chapped lips. If the craving is there to consume something fruity, look into options with lower acidity such as apples, bananas, and mangos.

Brush Teeth With SLS-Free Toothpaste
Are you familiar with sodium lauryl sulfate? Didn’t think so. Reports indicate the chemical compound is an irritant for sensitive lips that causes dryness or chapped lips when brushing your pearly whites. Since many toothpastes feature SLS and other dehydrating alcohols, play it safe by looking over the ingredients list before switching. Furthermore, stay away from toothpastes containing synthetic flavors since many of the substances in them normally produce flaky outcomes.

Make Honey Part Of Your Diet
The golden mixture possesses regenerative, antibacterial powers that heal parched lips. As a humectant, honey has the capability of retaining moisture and prevents infections from seeping into skin-split areas. Applying a small dab of it should warrant soft lips. Or if you’re seeking a more enticing treatment, there’s always food foreplay. How’s that for lip service?

Invest In A Humidifier
As the climate drops, so does the humidity level. The same reaction occurs when sleeping in a heat-blasting room that resembles a sauna. Experts suggest picking up a humidifier, as the machine will boost moisturization to increase the amount of water vapor in the air. Leaving it on throughout the night keeps your skin and those puckers supple for morning makeout sessions.
