Winter Lip Care

It's cold, it's hot, it's dry, it's not.
 Your lips this time of year my dears are put through the whole shebang. 
That's why I find lip care especially important when the temperature drops.
For me this trio of balm, treatment and exfoliation works wonders!

I start with exfoliating my lips 1-2 times a week. For me I just use a little organic sugar mixed with a little water to make a paste. Massage lips gently and then wash it off. Pretty easy and most of everyone has it in the house. No fancy lip scrubs needed here. 

The balm I have been carrying with me everywhere is the Suvana Paw Paw and Honey Balm. It's hydrating without being sticky, smells nicely of honey, and leaves lips glossy. 

For night time and first thing upon waking I apply a thicker richer balm. La Bella Figura's La Curacio is  full of amazing emollient oils and butters. I noticed after the first couple nights of using this that my lips are softer and haven't cracked (something they always do in the winter). And it might be my imagination but I swear they are rosier (maybe the bit of ginger in it?). Either way it's a total staple. I just bought a backup and one for a gift too. 

Next up I'll have a post just in time for the holidays on 
my most favorite red lip colors!

  1. Hi!

    I bought Suvana balm for a friend and she loved it - I still have to get one for myself.

    I have been very loyal to my RMS beauty lip and skin balm - using it on lips and under the eyes - it's great!

    And recently, I have been using Hurraw balm - which is great as well (and mor convenient to carry around, bcs it comes in a tube...)

    La Bella Figura La Curacio sounds great - does it have a balm texture? Could you post some pictures? Thanks!!! :)

    1. Hi Clara!
      I'd totally get the Suvana balm. It's kind of amazing, and the moisture it gives to lips lasts a long time.
      The LBF La Curacio is awesome. It's a harder texture more like a balm. If I can get some good light in the next couple days I'll add a photo of their textures.
      Thanks for stopping by =)
