Winter is here, and our lips are among the first to suffer from the cold: the chill, indoor heating, and the fluctuations between the two tend to dry them out. Discover our tips and advice to help your smile sail through the winter with flying colors
The cold season is in full swing. Not easy to adjust to it for the fragile parts of our body. Because it is important to preserve your lips from dryness and premature aging, consoGlobe reveals today its tips and favorite products to keep a pretty mouth even when the cold is raging! Here are some ideas to choose an effective lip care product.
Winter Lip Care: Naturally Soft and Protected Lips
Our lips have a thin skin and are devoid of sebaceous glands, which could produce a protective lipid film for the skin. That’s why it’s important to hydrate them. If the chapping and dryness aren’t treated, they can spread around the lips and linger for weeks or even months! And that hurts…
A Lip Scrub
Beautiful lips start with exfoliation. In the morning, gently brush your lips with a toothbrush to remove dead skin, then apply a bit of organic honey to hydrate. For the lip peeling, you can also apply sugar or salt with a bit of water, then rub in small circular motions.
Hydrating Lips with Simple Tips
For natural lip hydration, nothing beats the 100% pure shea butter. This product is known for its nourishing properties while soothing the pain related to chapping. You can also nourish your lips effectively and gently by mixing a bit of honey with a knob of organic shea butter.
Another Tip
Still for perfect hydration, apply a little honey added to extra virgin olive oil. Then, let it sit for at least fifteen minutes.
Which Lip Balms to Buy for Naturally Hydrated Lips?
If you don’t want to use homemade products, there are excellent store-bought alternatives to keep lips soft and well hydrated. But beware, be mindful of your skin and the planet!
Avoid balms containing silicone and chemical UV filters. There are, of course, organic repair balms rich in natural, plant-based or mineral ingredients (oils, waxes, organic shea butter…). Without any petrochemical derivatives, these balms will Pamper you quickly and effectively for naturally beautiful lips in winter.

What Foods for Beautiful Lips?
Drink water regularly to stay hydrated and eat foods rich in fatty acids, calcium, magnesium and flaxseed oil.
Moreover, while the vitamin A in fruits and vegetables helps fight dry skin, vitamin B prevents cracking, and vitamin C gives it elasticity.
On the other hand, limit acidic foods! These can contribute to painful canker sores.
