Best thing about summer is of course the sun, best thing about winter is the cold (can't beat layered clothing) - but a lot of people forget something very important in both these key seasons and very often actually all year through - LIPS!
Your lips are so important to care for and so many people don't realise why so here is a little breakdown of 3 facts about your lips you may not have known before:
1. The skin on your lips is very thin- it can very easily burn, crack or peel.
2. The blood supply is very close to the surface, hence why lips are pinky/red - in severe cases lips may bleed!
3. Your lips contain absolutely no oil glands, so they don't produce any natural oils like the rest of your skin does - they can quickly and easily become seriously dehydrated!
I know what you're thinking, lick them if they feel dry or drink water, but this is only a temporary fix, when this moisture dries it takes away any natural moisture that was already on there in the first place- starting off this nasty cycle all over again.
It is so important to moisturise your lips all day, everyday to avoid: chapping, cracking, sun burn or worse and simply licking them, drinking water or rubbing them will not suffice! There are so many lip products out there that claim to do such a great job at protecting and moisturising your lips but I've gathered together a few of my all time favourites that I have tried and tested and can confirm from experience 100% that they do what it says on the packaging.
Vaseline- an old classic I know but this product will never get old, whether you have the original, scented or tinted tin it will work wonders on your ever so precious lips.
Baby Lips- the new lip and blush ball balm is a product I have been loving as of lately and recommend highly for both the quality and the amazing scents available.
Delicieuse - a French brand that I discovered through Glossybox and now couldn't be without, this lip balm works best under lipstick!
Dirty Works - one of the many things I love about this lip balm range is the scents, my personal favourite being watermelon with a discreet yet noticeable pink tint in colouring.
Carmex- if you have never heard of or tried this miracle in a tube where have you been? This has saved me during multiple colds and since discovering the cherry flavour is a definite go to in my collection.
Saving the best until last however is EOS- Evolution of Smooth have hit the nail right on the head with their lip balms, providing a huge range of flavours (my personal favourite being Summer Fruit) that give the ultimate moisture drench for your lips in both hot and cold weather conditions. The organic and gluten free smooth spheres are not only easy to use, long lasting and lightweight but come packaged in the cutest and most original format, there is no tube to squeeze and no pot to wipe your finger around, it is literally twist to open and glide on to use!
So there you go, you have no excuse now, you know why lips are so important to look after and you know my top 6 go to products with EOS coming in at #1!
