poor old lips

it’s not their fault. It’s just that your lips are thinner than the rest of your skin and have far less glands. there’s no melanin to protect them from rays of sunshine either.

unprotected when you’re out and about, or battling with air con and central heating indoors, lips need moisture.

when your lips become dry, cracked, sore or infected, show them some tender loving care and attention.

bring back the love

there are a few ways to make sure your lips get the moisture they need in cold weather.

drink plenty of water. perhaps the simplest cure there is and one we’ve all heard before. hydration is key to preventing lips from cracking so grab your water bottle. if you prefer not to drink cold water in the depths of winter, try a healthy hot water with a cleansing twist of lemon.

moisturise. using Blistex Intensive Moisturiser will bring deep rehydration to lips. we’ve combined shea butter to condition, camphor to soothe and allantoin to add a layer of protection. apply as ofen as you like to keep lips sweet and soft.

don’t lick your lips. it’s tempting when your lips feel dry but you’re actually making things worse. keeping your Blistex handy will help to squash the urge and give lips the kind of moisture that does them good.

ski, sun, lips
