After finishing work, the master will apply an antiseptic agent to your lips, then a special ointment. After 15 minutes, it is removed with a napkin and. to protect the lips, apply oil or balm. A slight puffiness forms on the lips, which makes the lips look too large. To reduce it, it is recommended to apply a cold compress.
