Hi, I'm Christine; I'm a Makeup Artist, and I'm going to show you how to relieve chapped lips. Everybody has chapped, lips especially in the wintertime; I'm going to show you some great ways to get rid of them. The things that you'll need for this look are a mascara wan brush, or toothbrush, and your basic ChapStick. So, the first step for relieving chapped lips is to go ahead and get any dry skin off of your lips. I like to use a mascara brush or you can also use an old toothbrush and just get it a little bit wet and you scrape your lips. You just go like this; it's going to take off any loose skin, dry skin and do it pretty gently 'cause you don't want to tear. Once you're satisfied with that, then, you just take your ChapStick; I like to use a really, kind of a thick one and you apply it generously, make sure you moist it so it get deep in there. And this is something you would do before you go to bed because as you sleep your lips can re-moisturize. So, your must-have product would be that mascara brush or an old toothbrush to get that dead skin off to prep your lips for the ChapStick. Thank you so much for watching. I'm Christine. Bye.
