Everybody probably knows that the winter weather makes your skin dry and that includes your lips. But year round, it's important to keep your lips smooth and hydrated. My lips are the worst in the winter but I do get chapped lips year around. Chapped lips are not only unattractive but they're painful! I've found some great products that have helped them heal and kept them from getting overly chapped again.
1. Philosophy "Kiss Me" - $15
Kiss Me is a lip exfoliator that gets rid of all of the dead skin on your lips. Now, I have to admit, I bought this product thinking it was going to make my lips perfect right away and that wasn't the case for me. It may have been because my lips were in such bad shape at the time. Despite that, I love this product. I keep mine in the shower so that I remember to use it. Using it in the shower with the heat and the steam also helps it work even better.
2. MAC Lip Conditioner - $15
This lip conditioner comes as a stick, in a tube and in a pot. They are all the same price but I prefer the pot. I use this after the lip exfoliator or when my lips just feel like they need moisture. I also like to use it before bed.
3. Blistex Revive & Restore - price varies at drugstores
Revive and Restore is 2 products in one. It comes with a "Restore" formula and a "Revive" formula in separate pots that interlock together which is what attracted me to it at first. The restore formula is supposed to be the stronger formula of the too and revive just seems to me to be chap stick in a pot. I've been using them every night and haven't had to deal with chapped lips.
4. Blistex Medicated Lip Balm
Another Blistex product. This is just normal tube chap stick but its medicated so its supposed to be stronger than just plain chap stick. I carry this in my purse and use it throughout the day, especially underneath lip glosses and lip sticks to keep my lips smooth and moisturized.
If you have any other suggestions of great products for your lips, let me know!
