Women who wear a lot of dark-colored lipsticks know that completely removing color from one’s lips can sometimes be tricky. It is not enough that you use a tissue to wipe stubborn lipstick off because you just might be left with a faded sticky mess. Use cold cream, baby oil or petroleum jelly to remove your lipstick.

Pat some of the product of your choice to coat your lips. Use a soft washcloth to loosen the lipstick by rubbing with a circular motion until the traces of color are gone. Finally, apply a lip moisturizer which is essential in keeping lips hydrated and soft, especially at bedtime. You should also use a lip moisturizer before applying lipstick in the morning.
