Winter is creeping in for many, and creeping in with it is the annual struggle of dry, cracked and chapped lips. Which is a problem for any age, but if you’re over 40 and already seeing a loss in volume and natural color in your lips - paired with more wrinkles - winter’s effects are going to have your lips shrinking and disappearing even further from the cold…
If you don’t give them the proper care.
So how you can keep them looking soft, virbrand, smooth and full all winter long? Here are some key tips from mature skin experts:
2. Stay Hydrated, Always
Okay so everyone knows that keeping your body hydrated will have a positive affect on your skin and lips. But in the winter, when we’re not dealing with heat, we tend to drink less water. That’s why making your daily water consumption in the winter a habit is key. Treat yourself to a nice large stainless steel water bottle that you can always keep in front of you, rather than trusting yourself to remember to fill up and drink eight glasses a day. Or use a habit tracking app for reminders every hour or two to drink up.
Herbal teas and warm water with lemon also count towards your water intake and can be comforting rituals in winter. And moisture-rich foods will help too - like cucumbers, oranges, and soups and broths. Go easy on the dehydrating caffeinated drinks!
2. Exfoliate
One of the biggest lip care routines for smoother lips is exfoliation, and it’s one of the easiest! A gentle exfoliant will remove dead skin cells and peeling skin that make lips look dull, flaky and dry. Avoid body or face exfoliants on your lips, they’ll be too harsh on the thin skin. In fact, one of the best ways to exfoliate is with the ingredients in your own kitchen, like sugar & coconut oil, or sugar, honey and olive oil!
How to Exfoliate Safely:
- Mix your sugar with your chosen and additional ingredients like honey or skin-safe essential oils
- In circular motions with fingers, gently massage the scrub onto both your upper and lower lip for about a minute or two
- Rinse the scrub off with lukewarm water, and lock in moisture with a hydrating balm
3. Avoid Lip Products with Drying Ingredients
Many lip products that we think are hydrating are actually doing the opposite and contributing to dehydration, especially in dry winter months. Lip products that contain artificial fragrances and alcohol can strip lips of natural oils.
And if you find yourself feeling like you need to apply lip balm every 15 minutes, you’re using the wrong one. Lip balm addiction is real; with some products, the more you use, the more you need. Think beyond fun scents and cute packaging and look for products that are truly designed to keep lips hydrated.
We recommend:
- Lip products that contain natural oils like jojoba and avocado oil, that deliver Omega fatty acids to sooth and repair dry lips.
- Products with Vitamin E to nourish and fight against environmental damage
- Hydrating and plumping ingredients like hyaluronic acid
5. Use a Humidifier
Dry indoor air can be harsh on the skin and lips and worsen dryness. You can help maintain moisture levels in the air and keep skin and looks looking healthy and hydrated with the addition of a humidifier, even if it’s just running in your room at night while you sleep.
6. Shield Lips from Winter Winds
Protecting lips with a hydrating lip balm and even a scarf on a windy winter’s day will help keep dryness and flaking at bay. And don’t forget that the sun’s UV rays are still strong in the winter, so an SPF of 30 on your lips while outdoors is always a good idea.
7. Try Fiera’s Fulluptuous™ Lip Plumper & Hydrator for Fuller, Softer Lips
Looking for a quick and effective way to achieve plumper, hydrated lips all winter long? Introducing Fièra’s new Fulluptuous™ Lip Plumper & Hydrator – a silky, hydrating lip plumper specifically made for the needs of mature lips.
While fillers and other invasive treatments gain in popularity, Fièra’s focus is to color and plump lips naturally - for a youthful look, on demand. And no added risks or unwanted permanent results.
Why Fulluptuous™ Lip Plumper Stands Out:
- Deep Hydration: Packed with hyaluronic acid and unique spheres that attract and expand moisture, this formula instantly hydrates lips, keeping them soft and plump throughout the day.
-
Instant & Lasting Volume: The lip plumper’s unique formula stimulates blood flow, plumping lips to perfection and smoothing out lip lines.
Non-Sticky, Smooth Texture: Unlike many lip plumpers that are sticky and tacky, Fulluptuous™ is a silky, buttery formula that feels ultra flexible and comfortable on the lips. - Gentle and Safe Ingredients: Fièra’s unique formula doesn’t rely solely on irritation to plump like other products, so it’s non-irritating. It’s also made without parabens and harsh chemicals, so it’s gentle for sensitive lips.
The Fulluptuous™ Lip Plumper & Hydrator offers all the benefits of a lip plumping treatment in a convenient, easy-to-apply product that you can use daily for soft, full lips all year long. Yes, even in the harshest winter weather.
