Finding good quality lip care has been something I've struggled with for years. If you struggle with dry, chapped lips every winter then you'll know that most lip products only provide instant relief and don't prevent future chapping. Luckily, my struggle with finding the perfect products means that I've tried and tested a lot of them, finding the best of the best to share with all of you. Get ready to say goodbye to chapped lips, forever!
Seal in moisture with Uriage Bariederm-CICA Lips:
During the night you have the perfect opportunity to seal in moisture and prepare your skin for the next day. This is when you should be using your thickest lip balm, after all you don’t have to worry about how it will look under lipstick or about smudging it onto a coffee cup. This lip balm quickly wormed it's way into my heart and became a product I couldn't live without (I ran out once without having a spare and I swore I would never let that happen again). One thing I love about Uriage is that their formulas are backed up by science. This product is the only lip balm on the market which is formulated with Poly-2p, a patented complex which insulates the skin’s surface, deeply regenerates, and soothes. Make sure to thoroughly remove any makeup before applying, and go to bed knowing that your lips will be as plump as your pillow in the morning.
Luscious looking lips with Teoxane [3D] Lip:
If you’ve been trying to achieve the 'clean girl' aesthetic like most of us have, this product is for you. Whenever I’m in the mood to rock this look I apply Teoxane [3D] Lip. It immediately plumps up my lips and keeps them looking great all day without needing to reapply. It contains Hyaluronic Acid, Marine Collagen Microspheres, and Ceramides, giving it the most luxurious texture of any lip product I’ve ever used. It’s also great to use under lipstick, or over it if you want to give your lipstick a glossy look.
Colour them in with Apivita Lip Care:
During the winter my lips can look discoloured because of the cold. When this happens, I’m more likely to go for a tinted lip balm over a lipstick because it’s easier to maintain throughout the day. Apivita’s Lip Care range contains 3 tinted lip balms to suit each skin tone. My personal favourite is Chestnut because it gives you that vintage 90s lip look. These lip balms are made of 99% natural ingredients and feel light on the lips. Make sure to keep this in your bag and reapply whenever you need to add colour and hydration simultaneously.
I also keep a spare Bariederm lip at all times! And love the 3D lip for that extra lift to my lips. I tried the Apivita lip balm with spf in summer, it was great, will try a tinted one now!
