Review: Every winter (and sometimes even through the other 3 seasons), I’ve had to deal with chapped lips. Sometimes, it felt like even putting on lip balm throughout the day didn’t help. So, I researched and found out that besides the winter weather, not being properly hydrated is also another cause of chapped lips. I also used to be a serial skin picker, and needed to work on getting rid of that habit.
I found that exfoliating my lips once a week with a lip scrub helped with getting rid of the dead skin on top. There are many options for lip scrubs, but I usually use a sugar scrub (Missha and Lush Cosmetics both have ones that are great to use and are reasonably priced). You can also go to your pantry and make a homemade scrub out of honey and regular cane sugar (I used to take a drop of honey on my finger and dip it into the sugar jar). The honey helps kill bacteria as well as helps with moisturizing.
Once I’m done with the exfoliating, I use Josie Maran’s Argan Lip Treatment (which I stumbled upon accidentally at Sephora). Argan oil as most every one has probably heard of, is the miracle oil that helps with pretty much everything. It’s no different with this Lip Treatment. I use this everyday. Combined with my once-a-week exfoliating regimen, I have not had to deal with chapped lips much anymore. Josie Maran’s Lip Treatment makes your lips feel moisturized right away without the greasy feeling that some lip balms have. It has a nice, soft apply scent. It is a bit of a splurge at $18, but a little bit of it goes a long way (I use mine twice a day).
