• Get lips soft and smooth by rubbing a damp warm cloth onto lips every night to get rid of the flaky dry skin, followed by applying a lip balm.

• Make the switch to a darker lip colour for nighttime by applying the darker colour over your daytime colour.

• To make your lipstick last longer apply a coat of lipstick, then a little powder and then another coat of lipstick

• Pat a little concealer around your lips to prevent lipstick from bleeding.

• Pull a big smile when applying your lipstick, this way the lipstick will get the best coverage including the corners of your lips.

• Eating and drinking healthily will reflect in your skin. So lots of fruit, veg and water included in your diet ladies!

• Do you overdo your perfume? Dab a little rubbing alcohol onto a cotton ball and use on your skin. The alcohol will eliminate the scent without altering it.

• Microwave lotion for 5 seconds to sooth winter skin that is dry and in need of a little TLC.

• The sun is the most dangerous between 10am and 2pm, so avoid it during these hours and always wear skin protection.

• Perfume evaporates quickly from dry skin, so add a little petroleum jelly to pulse points before spraying perfume. And an extra little tip is spritz your ankles and the back of your knees as scent rises.
