In the winter, your lips get more damaged than usual. Snow, wind, or rain - here is our most helpful advice for putting your best smile on display, whatever the circumstances!
Lips: Extremely Delicate Skin
The skin of our lips is thin and fragile. This morphological characteristic makes blood vessels more visible, which is the reason why our lips can look red, pink, or even blue in cold temperatures. Like the rest of our epidermis, with time and exposure to UV, the lips gradually lose collagen, resulting in them slimming. Unlike the rest of your skin, the lips do not have sebaceous glands and thus are much more vulnerable to external stress like the wind, cold temperatures, and sunlight, so they tend to dry out faster. Finally, their skin contains only limited amounts of melanin, making them particularly vulnerable to the sun’s rays… It should be clear now that your lips need lots of love and care, especially if they are out in the sun!!
The Right Steps for a Radiant Smile
Your lips require daily care due to their delicate and sensitive nature. To do so, our team of Biarritz-based scientists developed lip balm that soothes, repairs, and protects. With a shielding effect against drying and external insult, our Reparative1 Lip Balm offers immediate and long-lasting comfort. To give the best in terms of a formula, we selected several precise natural-origin ingredients. In it, we combined our reparative ingredient, Alga-Sendatu® (from Basque Coast red algae) with nourishing and skin softening Organic castor oil. Plant-origin polyglycerides carrying Omega acids 3, 4, and 6 were included to create a film-forming effect that protects against drying and external stress, and Organic glycerin was added for a deep hydrating effect. You can use our Reparative1 Lip Balm daily, or just when you need relief from irritated, chapped, and cracked lips. Your lips will look pulpy and healthy year-round!
For lips that are even healthier-looking, use a light honey and salt scrub on them twice a week. The scrub will remove dead skin cells and stimulate blood circulation, accelerating cellular regeneration.
Keep Your Lips Protected At All Times
As they are particularly sensitive to UV light, your lips must be kept protected from the sun’s rays. Tested and approved by high-level athletes, our hypoallergenic2 and fragrance-free SPF30 Lip Balm provides maximum sun protection thanks to its high staying power and water, salt, and wind resistance. Your lips stay moisturized, whatever the situation. Our Lip Balm Suncare creates a nourishing and protective cocoon, perfect for any time spent in the sun, whether it’s summer or winter! Made with 100% natural-origin mineral screens and our patented, powerfully antioxidant Alga-Gorria®, the formula provides dual protection against sunlight and premature skin aging. Its active ingredients, Jojoba and Castor Oils bestow moisturizing effects and suppleness, essential fatty acids (Omega 3 and 6) provide comfort, and Organic beeswax shields the lips. Whether you find yourself in a particularly sun-drenched location such as the coast or the mountains, or simply enjoying a sunny day outdoors, your lips now have everything they need to stay well-protected and moisturized.
