Is there anything worse than dry, flaky lips? In a word: no. The best trick (like the pros do backstage) is to use exfoliating wipes pre-party, as they’re softer and gentler on the skin than the old age trick of frantically rubbing with a dry toothbrush. Try First Aid’s Beauty Facial Radiance Pads, £14, or if you’re in a rush, make-up artists also swear by MAC’s Lip Scrubtious, £12.50, for stubborn patches.
