The chilly temps aren’t only brutal on your facial skin and body, they take a major toll on your lips too, a body part we often neglect. Then when you go to apply your lipstick on your next night out, you wonder why your lips look less than sexy.
Dry winter air affects the lips in several ways. It saps moisture out of the lips leaving them looking shriveled and dry with pesky flakes that drive you crazy. Moisture loss means a loss of collagen, a protein essential for keeping the lips plump and free from lines. If you’ve ever experienced your lipstick “bleeding” into the fine lines around your mouth then you know what we mean!
Why wait for your lips to take a beating before you start treating them when you can prevent them from getting affected at all? Keep reading for our most hydrating, lip luscious tips to keep your pout hydrated and plump all winter long!
Drink up
Nope, put that martini down, we’re talking about pure, filtered water to keep you hydrated from the inside out. Many of us favor sugary lattes and glasses of red especially on extra chilly nights, but both sugar and alcohol suck moisture out of your skin cells leaving your skin (including your lips) parched and in desperate need of hydration.
By drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day, you help to nourish your skin cells from the inside out for skin that glows with dewy hydration and pillow soft, kissable lips.
Of course we don’t expect you to never treat yourself so try this healthier take on a creamy latte! You can indulge without the guilt!
Get scrubbing
Scrub away flakes and boost circulation with a delicious lip scrub made with only natural ingredients. This is the perfect step before applying your balm so you can enjoy a smooth application and so that your lip balm ingredients will sink into your lips rather than cling to dry skin on the surface.
Protect your lips with natural ingredients
Forget those conventional balms packed in synthetic, not to mention drying chemicals, and instead treat them to lip balms made with real ingredients that will soothe, hydrate and provide a protective barrier to keep the elements out and moisture locked in.
Apply our balms throughout the day as needed and under your lipstick for a smooth, flawless finish all day (or night) long!
