How to protect your lips during winter
The steps and must-haves to "save" this delicate facial area
January 17th, 2023
With winter and freezing temperatures, it's good to start thinking about how to protect ourselves from the cold weather to come. And since lips are one of the first "indicators" of sub-zero temperatures, good thing is to get ahead by starting to protect (and prepare) them with ad hoc products. Redness, dryness and cracking are likely to be the order of the day: the bog, snow and biting wind can seriously affect the well-being and beauty of the skin of the lips, leading to their progressive dehydration. Here's how to remedy it.
EXFOLIATE

The idea of exfoliating dry skin from the lips the way you do from heels and elbows sounds like a winner. And in fact it is. The important thing is to do it the right way. So put down the toothbrush (do you have masochistic aspirations?) and apply an ad hoc product on your lips perhaps made with jojoba oil. Don't have it at home? A little olive oil mixed with sugar and gently swiped over the lips is also fine.
HYDRATE

Rely, if you can, on a product with these ingredients: shea butter, jojoba oil and resveratrol. For a stronger action you can also apply a mask at night, before going to bed. While you sleep, in fact, your lips are not teased and therefore the product penetrates better. Oils are usually a guarantee, but you have to know how to choose. The must-haves for treating chapped lips are: jojoba oil and the one extracted from grapefruit seeds, not forgetting two great classics such as almond oil and macadamia oil, which are rich in Vitamin E. Also, have you ever wondered why, after applying an ad hoc specialty such as chapstick, you feel your lips are even drier? Well, it happens that some products contain alcohol that dries out the skin, activating a vicious cycle that will eventually make you consume more product.

To protect yourself from freezing temperatures if your destination is the mountains, but also to get through the harsh winters in the city and avoid ending up with chapped lips, the ultimate beauty trick before leaving the house is to use shield products, rich in active ingredients that know how to insulate the skin from the cold while nourishing it.
