What Is Lip Cleanser?

For years, women have heard the same advice. "Take off your eye makeup at night!" experts have urged. They warn of possible infections, clogged pores, and a whole litany of ills that will befall the woman who does not heed the warning. The advice is good; it is a wonderful idea for women to make a habit of removing their makeup...all of their makeup.

Yet somehow, in the sea of warnings, these same experts forget to remind women to clean one of the most visible parts of their faces—the lips. Taking excellent care of the lips makes perfect sense, but for some reason this practice seems to have fallen by the wayside. This is unfortunate, because the lips are one of the first things that people notice about others when they speak. The eyes may be the window to the soul, but the lips are a window to the personality.

Fortunately, many women have started to wise up within the past year, integrating lip cleansers into their beauty regimen. Especially with all of the wonderful lipstick pigments on the market, and the resurgence of retro styles with deep pigments, lip cleanser has become even more imperative within the past few years.

Many of the products on the market excel at cleaning the lips, while simultaneously nourishing them with essential ingredients. These new products use soothing blends to lift out impurities, while leaving the lips clean and luscious. There are no harsh detergents or chemicals. Many of these cleansers use soothing ingredients such as shea butter, rice extracts, and cocoa butter to accomplish the job.

The point is to cleanse the lips, but also leave them healthy and refreshed. With so many environmental foes (sun damage, wind damage, harsh cosmetics), the lips already battle many challenges on a daily basis. Paying special attention to one's lips should take on the same precedence as all other aspects of a woman's skincare regime.
