Winter time is here already for a while and it’s getting colder every day. When winter days come, your skin needs special care and hydration. So do your lips, because of their exposure to cold weather much more than the rest of your body. We all know how it hurts when lips crack, and it surely needs some time to heal. But, to avoid that, you need a good lip care scrub and balms.

Lip Scrub and Balms as Your Allies

First of all, we’ve talked about the right care of your face skin. You know we’ve mentioned that you should use face scrub from time to time. Well, this is also the thing with your lips. Every now and then, you should make a homemade scrub (or buy one) for your lips. It is amazing how easy it is!

For making the scrub you will need:

• 2 teaspoons of sugar
• 1 teaspoon of honey
• 1 teaspoon of olive oil (you can practically use any oil you want – almond oil, coconut oil, etc.)

Mix it all together and then apply to your lips. Rub it gently, like you are massaging your lips which will remove dead skin cells and accelerate blood circulation. After finishing, just rinse with the warm water. Then comes the part when you should apply a lip balm and here are some that we LOVE.

• EOS – there are many different flavors, so you can choose your favorite. They contain antioxidant-rich vitamin E, soothing shea butter and jojoba oil.
• NIVEA – one of the world’s most famous companies that produces skin care products, as well as great lip balms. Lip Butter Cocoa Butter is personally my favorite, but there is also raspberry flavor, as well. Perfectly soothes and moisturizes lips, especially on winter days.
• Bite Beauty Agave Lip Balm – this one got our attention the very same moment we found out the date of it’s launching. It is new on the market (literally is available less than a month!), but it was worth waiting for it. This balm contains vanilla CO2 extract that helps moisturizing lips throughout the day, and all that we have to say about it is that is one of our favorites.

So, don’t let the cold affect your mood, enjoy the winter and snow, and just keep your lips moisturized. Don’t forget to take your balm with you wherever you go, because we are girls and we can take with us whatever we need.
