Protecting your lips from the harmful UV rays is important to keep your lips soft and rosy, hence make sure you use some kind of a sunscreen on your lips as well, when you go out in the sun.

Drying of lips can make your lips turn rough and dark. Hence, it is vital to keep the lips moisturized at all times with lip butter or any other appropriate moisturiser.
Also, one important thing that you might want to remember is to remove all the lip makeup once you are back home. Use natural oils like olive oil, coconut oil or jojoba oil to cleanse your lips and keep them soft and supple.
