Say “BYE!” to Chapped Winter Lips This Season

Confession time: I have a bad habit of biting my lips & peeling the dead skin off, so I've come up with my own lip care routine to follow every (most) night, in hopes to combat the dryness. Your routine doesn’t have to be nearly as in-depth as mine - consistency is the real key to everything! Here are some products to get your started:

 
2 Unicorn - thiaxmusic.png

A natural, edible (❗) exfoliant to prep the lips & to get rid of that dead skin. You only need a pea-size, so this tub lasts FOREVER.

Highlighted ingredients: Castor sugar, organic jojoba oil, organic virgin plum oil, popping candy (for a bit of added fun)

2. Baby Toothbrush

Your cost-friendly alternative to a lip scrubber. I like to use it after my lip scrub to get rid of the remaining sugar & for a final clean.

Note: Remember to use it gently so you don’t completely dry out or hurt your lips/remove too much skin!

3. Nighttime Lip Balm (Sóley / KISStu mig)

Something to seal the moisture before the mask. My parents picked this up for me while they were in Iceland. Fun fact: “Kisstu mig” means “Kiss me” in Icelandic.

Highlighted ingredients: Blend of hand-picked wild Icelandic healing herbs, beeswax, sweet almond oil, vitamin E

 
 
5 Laneige - thiaxmusic.png

It's not a cult favourite for no reason! I love the light berry scent & how it leaves the lips feeling plump & hydrated in the morning. Recommend using a lip balm before use (as above).

Highlighted ingredients: Laneige’s “Moisture Wrap™ Technology” - a mineral network of moisture-rich beta-glucan; Laneige’s “Berry Mix Complex™” - rich in vitamin C & antioxidants; blend of raspberries, strawberries, cranberries, goji berries & blueberries

5. Daytime Lip Balm (Babor / Lip Repair Balm)

So hydrating. So smooth. Smells so nice. My dog loves it.
Need I say more?

Highlighted ingredients: Aloe vera, shea butter, carnauba wax, sunflower oil

 
 
7 Lip Glow - thiaxmusic.png

1/2 of my most recent Sephora splurge. Gives you a natural pop of colour while not sacrificing on the hydration factor. And it makes you feel luxurious.

Highlighted ingredient: Mango butter

 
 
8 Lip Maximizer - thiaxmusic.png

2/2 of my most recent Sephora splurge. I love a good plumping gloss that makes the lips look healthy & shiny.

 

💦 And don't forget to drink lots of 𝗪𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗥 - a simple remedy that I need to do more often...
