When it comes to beauty, there is always something for us to be obsessed about. Lately, the “something” is lips. And with good reason -- they are, after all, one of the most noticeable features on our faces. Not to mention, beautiful lips can make every photo Instagram worthy.

To make sure you don't find yourself with a jar stuck to your face because you decided to take the Kylie Jenner lip-plumping challenge, we put together four simple tips that will help you get the pout you crave.

4 Tips for Beautiful Lips (Without Fillers)

1. Exfoliate
Exfoliation is necessary to keep lips from appearing dry and flaky. Done regularly, it also helps make sure any lip products you use can do their job.

2. Hydration
Keeping your insides hydrated is just as important as the outside when it comes to a youthful appearance. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water daily to keep your lips hydrated and plump..

3. Stop Smacking
Licking your lip causes damage to the protective barrier that not dries your lips out, but also leaves them open to things like fever blisters and/or cracking.

4. Moisturize
Moisturization is key for beautiful lips and while this is particularly true for those drier winter months -- keeping your lips hydrated with a lip product is very important. We like Theraderm Anti-Aging Lip Complex because not only is it infused with avocado oil and vitamin E, it also contains a peptide that helps minimize the appearance of lip lines. We also love that it contains ingredients that plump the lips without painful burning or stinging.

There you have it. Follow these simple tips for gorgeous lips - without fillers!
