...of Luscious Lips.

If the schizophrenic weather has been wreaking havoc on keeping your lips smooth and soft, you are not alone. It's not a pretty picture, but has it seemed nearly impossible to keep your chapped lips from peeling and flaking? I have found that the trick is to apply moisturizing ointments versus pretty lip-glosses or aromatic chap-sticks. Look for these products that have specific ingredients that alleviate discomfort and provide soothing relief:

1. Deep Renewal Chapstick by Blistex.
My first encounter with this product was when my mom passed it along to me--I immediately dismissed it for a marketing ploy targeting the anti-aging niche. However, after using it...I realized this product is incredible! With SPF 15 and Coenzyme-Q10 (an ingredient that slows down the aging-process while delivering revitalizing antioxidants), this chapstick instantaneously heals flakiness and dryness, leaving lips revitalized and smooth.

2. Rose Salve by C.O Bigelow.
The hybrid of aromatic chapstick, soothing ointment, and lipgloss. This all purpose salve has .9% rose extract which helps ease irritation and condition the lips with a subtle gloss-like complexion--not to mention it smells quite lovely.

3. Aquaphor Healing Ointment by Eucerin.
Simply put: a miracle product. With 41% Petrolatum, this ointment helps to protect and relieve chapped or dry lips. Generously apply before bed or a few times throughout the day to alleviate pain and reduce visible flakiness. Can also be applied on other dry/irritated parts of the body.
