Say Goodbye To Chapped Lips: Our Dry Lip Saviours
What causes dry, chapped lips?
Chapped lips are often a sign of dehydration, and with the cold weather, skin is more prone to dehydration due to evaporation. For example when we come in from the cold or windy weather to a centrally heated house, that sudden change in temperature causes skin to be dehydrated.
...
Unknowing habits can contribute. Your lips are made from delicate skin, that small and potentially unknowing habit of licking your lips, isn’t hydrating them. Although it can provide temporary relief from dehydrated lips, the enzymes in your saliva are too harsh for the delicate skin on your lips. Also, avoid biting your lips, and keep items like pens away from your mouth.

How to treat chapped lips
...
Thankfully treating chapped lips is easy. You can also apply a good lip balm or ointment as required throughout the day. Don’t forget to use some after eating and drinking, as well as last thing at night so it can get to work while you sleep. Our recommendation for a lip balm on the go is our Intense Cupuacu Replenishing & Nourishing 2-1 Lip-Repair Mask. It aims to hydrate and re-texturise your lips, leaving them feeling soothed and conditioned.
Hidden in the Advent Calendar…

You’ll also be able to find a full-size Intense Cupuacu Replenishing & Nourishing 2-1 Lip-Repair Mask in our Zodiac Advent Calendar. And with the Advent Calendar only being priced at £99 it’s an easy decision.
Exfoliating our lips is just as important as our skin. Dead skin cells and flakey skin can build up on your lips, it’s important to remove the dead skin cells to allow products to penetrate effectively. The texture of your lips contributes to the appearance, using a lip scrub when needed can improve texture, and bring blood to the surface giving a more rejuvenated and fuller look. Our Velvet Perfecting Rose Sugar Lip Scrub doesn’t just work to scrub away skin cells, but being rich in vitamin E and sweet almond oil, it provides that all-important UV damage and hydrates.
