International Kiss Day: beauty spa for lips that are back in the limelight

Mask (almost) hanging on the nail and mouth on the starting line, ready to snap 24 thousand kisses or more. Lips are waiting to be the makeup star again and to dress in bright shades. Even more so on the occasion of the International Kissing Day, on July 6. From that of Klimt, one of the most famous in the history of art, to the pop one between Madonna and Britney Spears at the Mtv Video Music Awards of 2003. Since Kiss in front of the Hotel de Ville, famous shot by Robert Doisneau, to the most romantic one in the history of cinema, between Vivien Leigh and Clarke Gable in Gone With the Wind, of course. The kiss has always been a magical moment, therefore, the dedicated day deserves it all. And then an enthusiast burns 6.4 calories per minute, not bad?

LIPS, SALON TREATMENTS
But now that we begin to show them, as well as the news on the lips, we want to focus on treatments to get this part of the face back in shape for too long, kept indoors. Just on the occasion of the World Kiss Day, Treatwell and Uala, a leader in Europe in online booking of beauty and wellness services, asked the experts Laura Matzeu, owner of Grey’s Beauty near Cagliari and, Vittoria Aruta, of 3lashes Studio in Syracuse, some of its partner salons to tell about some errors caused by the pandemic e how it is possible to have lips again kiss catcher. Beyond the maskne which we all more or less had to deal with, fighting against the imperfections caused by the continuous friction of the mask fabric and the proliferation of bacteria due to humidity and dirt that lurks around the mouth (for this reason it is good to intervene with purifying treatments, first calming the already very stressed area with an anti-inflammatory cream and then efollow a peeling without steam and with a chemical exfoliation followed by a deep cleansing of the face ultrasound), we must also remedy a some too much damage caused by DIY waxing in lockdown.

In this case too, peeling comes to the rescue which dissolves the stratum corneum of the skin, favoring its exfoliation and subsequent physiological regrowth. Once the skin is healed, it can be resumed with professional hair removal carried out with fat-soluble waxes, such as those with zinc oxide with a decongestant action, perfect for particularly sensitive skin. As for all areas of the body, also (and above all) that of the face requires the foresight to dust with anti-humidity talcum powder before tearing, to spread a soothing aloe cream after removing the hair and to apply a veil of sunscreen before leaving the salon.

REMEDIES AGAINST THE SMOOTHED EFFECT
Instead, to counteract the unpleasant smudging of lip colors glossy under the grille, you can opt for the choice of semi-permanent make-up (or dermopigmentation) which allows you to have colored lips for up to three years, except for a first retouch after 40 days from the initial session. Given the duration over time, we recommend the choice of soft colors, such as more or less dark pinks, which tire less and on which it is possible to play by applying removable colors of different shades and textures. For those who do not want to give up a touch of color, the last frontier of semi-permanent cosmetics is the BB-Lips, a treatment with both a curative and aesthetic function capable of giving the lips an immediate “lip balm” effect.

LIPS ROUTINE FOR TOP SOFTNESS
SOS chapped lips: there are two solutions. The first, more long-term, is represented by filler, small injections of hyaluronic acid that make the lips visibly healthy and plump up to a month after the session. Otherwise at home you need to follow simple rules such as avoiding nibbling and pulling the cuticles. It is important to keep the mucosa hydrated and protected, especially after that, with prolonged use of the mask, irritation and dryness are just around the corner. So, ideal would be protect them during the day (don’t forget sun damage too so it’s good in the lips routinand also include products with SPF) e moisturize and nourish them in the evening with restorative balms and butters. Finally, every self-respecting kiss-saving kit must contain at least one lip oil to soften them in the presence of cuticles. Just leave it on for a few minutes and then pass a little wet cotton wool to gently remove them. And then green light to bling bling lipsticks and lip glosses with a plumping effect, the must-haves of this summer returned to the present directly from the 2000s that have conquered the girls of the Kardashian clan.

All ready to show off full lips, sexy and free to leave their mark (finally!) But natural and perfectly harmonized with the facial features? In the gallery some tips of beauty shopping really kissed!
